Welcome back to the Rooted in Podcast! In this episode, Rita interviews Linda Plass, a member of the Rooted Crew since 2021. But how did we come to know Linda? First and foremost, she is a homeschool mom to three children (now teenagers). She was one of Rooted in Language’s earliest customers who was seeking support and guidance in all things literacy for her struggling learner. The bonus is that she discovered that all of RiL’s classes and instructional materials supported her in teaching her typical learners too! Linda shares the ebb and flow of her journey educating her children while honoring each of them as unique individuals. What was her goal? To develop lifelong learners. She shares how Rooted in Language helped her do that and more!
