How to Help My Dyslexia Child

Most important, I am eager for the parents of my students to understand that their children can and will learn to read, that their children have strengths, not just weaknesses. I want parents to know how preparing their children to learn to deal with their disability can inspire confidence and enable them to look forward to a proud future where they understand their disability as well as their strengths, self-advocating for their unique learning style. This is my manifesto for the struggling reader.

Does my child struggle with can be a difficult decision?  You are not alone wanting the best for your child. Hiring an academic coach can build academic success, and your child will enjoy school more as a result.   In actuality, several young scholars who receive tutoring often end up on the honor roll.
