What if literacy wasn’t about ticking off grammar boxes or forcing essays, but instead, inviting your child into an experience?I’m chatting with Bethany Baldwin, founder of MAD Society, about what happens when you add creative writing, play-based storytelling, and even escape rooms into your homeschool approach to literacy. Whether your child is essay-avoidant, wildly expressive, or quietly creative, this episode will help you unlock their unique path to communication.Here’s what we’re diving into:💡Why drama and creativity aren’t just for “outgoing” kids💡How to develop writing skills without relying on essays💡Ways to “gamify” literacy💡What makes you qualified to teach creativity (it’s probably not what you think)💡How to let your child explore their gifts, even when the journey looks messyWhether you're burnt out on worksheets or just looking to reignite your child’s imagination, this episode will help you see literacy from a new angle — and maybe even give new ideas for how you want to teach writing in your homeschool.Connect with Bethany:Download your free African Safari Creative Writing Escape Room: https://www.madsocietyinc.com/[email protected] Ultimate Guide to Teaching Your Homeschooler Critical Thinking is not available at this time.SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:Right now, I’m taking a step back from client work and pausing the podcast as I focus on healing from a recent lupus flare, and caring for our youngest son through his brain tumour journey.This space and the work here mean so much to me.
