I was devastated when my son was diagnosed with dyslexia. It took four years of heartache and hard work, but he is now reading—and I couldn’t be more proud of him.
Have a reluctant reader at home? These tactics will get kids to read without them even noticing it. Sort of like sneaking veggies into pasta sauce.
But they probably won't be. Which is almost criminal, because dyslexia needs to be caught early for the best chance at successfully learning how to read.
Learning that my daughter had dyslexia was devastating—all I could see were the challenges ahead. Now that we understand what it is and what she needs, we've discovered how special her brain really is.
Sometimes a kid's trouble with focusing, learning and behaving in class could come down to a visual challenge. This therapy could help.
