Focus. Dedication. Discipline. Three things that are vital for making progress in and outside the classroom.

Reversing letters or numbers, such as confusing b and d or 2 and s, is common and developmentally normal in children up to the age of 7. For children with dyslexia, these reversals can continue well past the end of 1st grade if not addressed. More info on reversals can be found at https://www.understood.org//faqs-about-reversing-letters-w. At Dyslexia Learning Center, we use a particular Barton method to help with b-d confusion. But there is more than one way to help kids stop mixing up b and d. Check out this link!

An attitude of resilience is important for everyone to have - whether you're dyslexic or not. Resiliency is one of the key attitudes tracked by Headstrong Nation's Attitude Assessment. (You can take the test at http://headstrongnation.org/parents/map-your-childs-dyslexia)

Suggestion #2 is to "Find something else your child is really good at". So what does your child excel in? Or, if you are dyslexic, what are you really good at doing?

It takes a lot of hard work and instruction for a dyslexic brain to learn the skills needed to read smoothly!

About 50-60% of those with ADHD also have a learning disability such as dyslexia.

Quote from the 2013 documentary, Embracing Dyslexia: "I think it's tremendously important to foster the strengths if you have a child with dyslexia. I think that they spend a lot of their early educational experience in what feels like failure. ... And as parents, and people who know them intimately, they're so much more than that and they might need some convincing in those early years. So really celebrate and give them many, many opportunities to feel and experience what success is like because for many of our kids it can be the lifeline that gets them through the rough patches." -Deborah Lynam (director, Parent Community Engagement for Learning Ally)

We are excited to announce our partnership with the Lake Elsinore Storm. This community partnership will educate our community about dyslexia and how to help your child. Let's play Ball! #baseball #lakeelsinorestorm #dyslexia #communityawareness

FYI information for all parents.

One of the warning signs of Dyslexia is not being able to come up with words that rhyme. This can be seen in children as young as preschool-age. If your child is working through the Barton Reading & Spelling System with us, he or she should be able to come up with words that rhyme by the end of Level 1. To give your child more practice in rhyming at home, check out these games.
