Parenting With Patience: Tips for Supporting Dyslexic Children Academically

Dyslexia may seem intimidating in that initial doctor's office visit, but learning some facts about it makes it easier to advocate for your child's needs. Our daughter's first public school classroom had no kindergarten teachers trained to help students with dyslexia succeed.

A simple internet search will make the world feel much more welcoming for a child who feels alone while growing up with dyslexia.
