Parents mean well.

But sometimes the way we were taught to “do school” is exactly what makes our children resist it.

In this episode of the Falling for Learning Podcast, TD Flenaugh and guest Lauren Moseley unpack a simple but powerful shift:

- What if homework wasn’t called homework?
- What if practice felt like play?
- What if 10 minutes a day could prevent summer slide?

Instead of drill and kill, they explore how to accelerate learning through drill and thrill through practicing skills through games and competitions.

From turning tricky words into a Go Fish card game to creating a distraction-free “practice zone” at home, this episode gives you practical, screen-free strategies that build:

• Reading fluency
• Letter recognition
• Fine motor strength
• Confidence
• Ownership of learning

You’ll also learn why:

• Kids will fail at video games 100 times but quit after 5 flashcards
• Coloring and card games build writing stamina
• Partnering with parents changes outcomes
• Routine beats intensity every time
