words, phrases and short and long sentences.

what you are good at to inspire them, you should also tell them what
are the things you struggle in. You can ask them to help you overcome
your fears and difficulties. It can be as simple as
holding a frog. The purpose is
showing them that they have
strengths that you don’t have
and teaching them that they
can overcome their
weaknesses, especially in
learning how to read, by
showing how you
overcome yours.
