Kathy gives talks at conferences worldwide and online

Online events

Having a child with learning challenges can make it hard to attend a convention. So Kathy talks online and in person. Some past events include:

How to raise a book lover, even when they struggle to learn? On December 29, 2020, on The Homeschool Solutions Show, Janice Campbell interviewed me about homeschooling struggling learners and helping them develop a love of literature and language. Find this show wherever you download podcasts, including Apple Podcasts.

But it’s relevant wherever you live.

Friday, March 27, with Kristen Eckenwiler and Kathy Kamibayashi (two dyslexia specialists who are also veteran homeschoolers). Q&A on “Have a Special Learner Suddenly at Home?” Hosted by the Home Educators Association of Virginia, it’s available here. We had many families join in who see this crisis homeschooling as their chance to test-drive home education.
