The Red Wheelbarrow Many homeschooling parents struggle with late-blooming readers. If your child is struggling with reading, consider trying something short and sweet. Reading poetry is an excellent way to practice reading and comprehension. Poems can be read repeatedly, memorized, and recited to a friend or stuffed animal. They also help to spark creativity in the brain. You can start a poetry journal with your homeschooler, which includes the text of the poem, notes or thoughts, and a drawing. Once your child gets the idea, they may be inspired to write their own poems. Remember, this should be a fun lesson with little expectations. Your child will be practicing reading, writing, and drawing without even realizing it. William Carlos Williams' "The Red Wheelbarrow" is an excellent poem to start with since it conveys so much meaning in just a few words.
