Hey there! Welcome to The Reading Project podcast where I help you build stronger readers one episode at a time. I am Ashley - Your Reading Tutor - and my experience as an online tutor, classroom teacher, and the mother of a reluctant reader, has allowed me to bring a fun and effective approach to building stronger and more confident readers. I created The Reading Project after working with dozens of families in my business that needed support in helping their readers at home. I want parents to know that you don’t have to be a teacher to help your struggling reader! I’m here to help!

    In this episode, I'm joined by Hailey Glynn for a conversation about how we can use children's books to help our kiddos process difficult situations and learn more about themselves.   Hailey, a former elementary teacher from Buffalo, NY, unexpectedly ventured into storytelling during the pandemic.

The more amazing children's books that are out in the world, the merrier! You can connect with Hailey by visiting her website, ⁠Growing with Glynn⁠, or by finding her on ⁠⁠Instagram⁠ and ⁠TikTok⁠.
