Want your child to fall in love with reading — and actually enjoy writing too? This episode is your parenting playbook.

In this powerful conversation with Miss Uma Kumar and Miss Jyotsna Nanda from Readin’ Resource – The Literacy Centre, we unpack everything you wish you knew earlier about English literacy, phonics, writing struggles, and how to raise confident communicators in a screen-heavy world.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

Why reading starts before your child can even speak

Phonics vs ABCs: what actually works

How to build comprehension (it’s more than just decoding words)

Writing tips that feel natural, not forced

What to do if your child only reads comics (hint: it's not a problem!)

The power of repetition, storytelling, and emotional connection

And why literacy is the foundation of every subject — not just English

Whether you're a parent, teacher, or caregiver — this is the episode you’ll come back to again and again.
