Flora’s Reading Anxiety

It is common for kids to start experiencing reading anxiety at a certain stage of their growth like Flora in this book. Some kids sometimes feel anxious because they don't understand why reading is so hard for them, particularly when reading out loud in school. This concern can be challenging for parents, especially when the kids read aloud at home. Teaching the kids to have a ‘growth mindset’ through a supportive approach that emboldens a focus on effort rather than on intelligence or talent may make the kids become higher achievers in school and in life.
