    Thank you so much for this. I am not an official teacher, but I’m a mom of 3 so that kind of falls within my job title 😁 I also have a daughter with adhd in 3rd grade who I just had extra testing done for because she is really struggling with reading so I’m hoping this will help.

    Thank you so much!! I’m going to get started on the homework now. I am going to watch again later to take notes because I wanted to write a couple words down
