She has taken this passion beyond the classroom, authoring and piloting curricula and leading webinars on education technology and pedagogical hotspots including curriculum development, e-sports in K\u201312, and how to (really) teach grammar. Her work in the classroom has included sixth grade mathematics at Northwest Academy in Portland, Oregon, a school where students spend just as much time in academic subjects as in arts classes.","url":"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/author\/krhodes\/"}]}},"formatted_date":"01.25.24","post_default_image":{"ID":16450,"id":16450,"title":"","filename":"6-ways-to-help-your-child-read-fluently-cover-to-cover_1200x630_social.png","filesize":1169907,"url":"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/uploads\/2021\/12\/6-ways-to-help-your-child-read-fluently-cover-to-cover_1200x630_social.png","link":"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/2025\/6-ways-to-help-your-child-read-fluently-cover-to-cover\/6-ways-to-help-your-child-read-fluently-cover-to-cover_1200x630_social\/","alt":"","author":"142","description":"","caption":"","name":"6-ways-to-help-your-child-read-fluently-cover-to-cover_1200x630_social","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":16447,"date":"2021-12-15 18:43:32","modified":"2023-05-16 19:36:21","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/wp\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1200,"height":630,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/uploads\/2021\/12\/6-ways-to-help-your-child-read-fluently-cover-to-cover_1200x630_social-150x150.png","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/uploads\/2021\/12\/6-ways-to-help-your-child-read-fluently-cover-to-cover_1200x630_social-300x158.png","medium-width":300,"medium-height":158,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/uploads\/2021\/12\/6-ways-to-help-your-child-read-fluently-cover-to-cover_1200x630_social-768x403.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":403,"large":"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/uploads\/2021\/12\/6-ways-to-help-your-child-read-fluently-cover-to-cover_1200x630_social.png","large-width":1200,"large-height":630,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/uploads\/2021\/12\/6-ways-to-help-your-child-read-fluently-cover-to-cover_1200x630_social.png","1536x1536-width":1200,"1536x1536-height":630,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/uploads\/2021\/12\/6-ways-to-help-your-child-read-fluently-cover-to-cover_1200x630_social.png","2048x2048-width":1200,"2048x2048-height":630,"lg_square":"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/uploads\/2021\/12\/6-ways-to-help-your-child-read-fluently-cover-to-cover_1200x630_social-325x325.png","lg_square-width":325,"lg_square-height":325,"rel_thumb":"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/uploads\/2021\/12\/6-ways-to-help-your-child-read-fluently-cover-to-cover_1200x630_social-720x378.png","rel_thumb-width":720,"rel_thumb-height":378}},"time_to_read":"3-minute read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21760"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/183"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21760"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21760\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22571,"href":"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21760\/revisions\/22571"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21764"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21760"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21760"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21760"},{"taxonomy":"grade_level","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/grade_level?post=21760"},{"taxonomy":"product","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?post=21760"},{"taxonomy":"nwea_theme","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/theme?post=21760"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=21760"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
