Reading and writing go hand in hand. In this final episode of our reading series, we’re exploring how to use books as a launching point for creative and critical writing. Whether it’s a simple story retelling, a persuasive opinion, or a totally new ending, writing about what they read helps kids solidify comprehension and develop their voice. We’ll share strategies for all ages that connect reading to writing in fun, purposeful ways.

Reading doesn’t have to be a silent, solitary activity. In this episode, we’re diving into narration and discussion. These are two simple but powerful tools for deepening reading comprehension. We’ll show you how to use retelling, dialogue, and even sibling book clubs to help your kids process what they read, build memory, and think critically. Whether you're homeschooling younger readers or talking through chapter books with tweens, this episode will help you make reading more interactive and meaningful.

What’s really going on in the story? This week we’re exploring how to help kids move beyond surface-level reading by making inferences and predictions. These are the skills that let readers pick up on subtle clues, read between the lines, and anticipate what might happen next. We'll break down how to teach these strategies in fun, approachable ways that work across ages and book types, and how they strengthen both comprehension and critical thinking.

This week we’re diving into the art of asking good questions. This is one of the most powerful tools for building reading comprehension and critical thinking. We’ll explore how to model curiosity, guide kids beyond “yes or no” answers, and help them interact with texts in a meaningful way. Whether you’ve got a brand-new reader or a middle schooler flying through novels, asking better questions can change the way your homeschool approaches reading.

Plus, we’ll give you a preview of the skills we’ll explore in the coming episodes, so you can start thinking about where your homeschoolers might need support or challenge.

Last week, we shared our 2025 update on using AI in your homeschool — but this week, we’re zeroing in on one specific and powerful use: planning. From IEPs and portfolio summaries to chore charts, meal plans, and weekly schedules, AI can help lighten the mental load and streamline your homeschool management. In this episode, we explore how to use AI as your personal planning assistant, so you can spend less time juggling logistics and more time connecting with your kids.
