It’s time for another compilation episode! This time I went with a topic rather than a particular question: the topic of learning to read naturally. Listen to ten different guests share their experiences around unschooling and learning to read. Hearing their stories in this new context—side by side—may well spark helpful new connections and insights for you.
I hope you enjoy it!

Episode Transcript
This was so helpful for me to take ‘learning to read naturally’ and change that into ‘learning to do ANYTHING naturally’! It helped me recognize that unschooling is natural and there are so many things set up in our world to drag us away from that. This episode helped me relate to unschooling in a different way. Thanks for all your wonderful info!
I love that insight, Kira! And I’m glad you’re finding my work helpful. 😀
Thanks so much for this compilation episode. The topic of learning to read hangs over my head daily as I try not to push my past schooling ways on my 7 and 5 year old boys. I really liked your comment that not reading is not a limitation to learning. Thanks for putting this episode together…now I can try to chill out about this issue for a bit.
You’re welcome. I’m so glad that comment stood out for you. As you’re chilling for the next while, watch your beautiful boys and notice how much they are learning every day—I bet you’ll soon see how not yet reading truly doesn’t get in the way of their learning. 🙂
