Wednesday, November 26, 2025 • Duration 34:08

Teaching Preschool & Kindergarteners to Read at Home – With Amelia Murdock, Founder of Dash Into Learning Episode Overview

Join us for an inspiring conversation with second-generation homeschooler Amelia Murdock, who has homeschooled her four daughters for over a decade and turned her love of art and reading into Dash Into Learning – a phonics-first, story-rich early reading program that’s now loved by thousands of families. This episode is packed with practical wisdom, real-life encouragement, and proof that you really can run a thriving business while keeping homeschool mornings sacred.

What You’ll Hear

How a homeschool mom created one of the most beloved beginner reading programs on the market
Why phonics + beautiful stories is the magic combination that turns reluctant readers into kids who beg for “just one more book”
The pandemic story: how Dash Into Learning exploded when parents suddenly needed simple, joyful, at-home learning tools
The superpower of individualized learning and why most kids never experience it in traditional school
Real talk on flexible schedules, weaving arts and music into the week, and protecting focused homeschool time even while running a company
How Amelia structures her days so her four daughters still get rich, unhurried mornings of learning and creativity
Straightforward, no-fluff encouragement for anyone who’s feeling the “homeschool tug” right now

Key Takeaways

Phonics is non-negotiable for confident reading – but it doesn’t have to be dry or boring
You don’t need complicated manuals or a teaching degree to give your child an excellent education
Individual pacing + passion-led learning unlocks talents traditional school often misses
It’s possible (and incredibly rewarding) to build a business and still put your family’s rhythm first
Arts, music, and real books are not “extras” – they’re essential fuel for a child’s soul

This Episode Is Perfect For

Parents who are curious about homeschooling or have recently pulled their kids out of traditional school
Anyone struggling to teach early reading and wanting a joyful, proven approach
Families looking for screen-free, literature-based curriculum that feels like snuggling up with beautiful books (not worksheets)
Homeschooling parents who dream of starting a side business or turning a passion into income
Anyone needing a big dose of “you’ve got this” from a veteran mom who’s walked the road for 10+ years
