About this listen

 If your Year 2 child still can’t read — or struggles even to sound out simple words — you’re not alone. Many parents feel anxious, frustrated, and unsure how to help when reading just doesn’t “click.” In this episode, Chris Battle explains why that happens, what phonics really does inside a child’s brain, and how anxiety and frustration at home can make things even harder. Drawing on The Reading Framework and over twenty years’ experience helping children learn to read, Chris shares practical strategies, real success stories, and the reassuring truth that every child can learn — once reading feels calm, consistent, and safe again.
