Dyslexia

In this post I want to focus on a different type of learning disability. Some parents are concern when they found out that their child had dyslexia and they are afraid that they won't do well in school. But having dyslexia isn't failure, In fact it's very common. I have some friends who have dyslexia and they do very well in their classes. There are different ways to teach kids with dyslexia and parents can help too. You can educate your child on the symptoms and causes of dyslexia and the strategies to overcome their challenges.

This is what kids with dyslexia see when they are trying to read a book. Dyslexia is not a sign of low intelligence or laziness. It's just the way people with dyslexia's brains process the information. It doesn't just affect reading but writing and even speaking too.


Everybody is different! Dyslexia can make things harder for students to remember what they have read. Students with Dyslexia would have to work on connecting letters to sound, Decoding text, Recognizing "sight" words, Reading Fluently, and understanding the text itself. It's important to give him or her extra help when you see them struggling because when they start out struggling they rarely catch up on their own. When the child is diagnosed with dyslexia by 3rd grade, they will have an easier time to catch up but it's never too late.


Kids with dyslexia get low self-esteem and get frustrated because they have a hard time spelling.
