People with Dyslexia are often of gifted intelligence,
but have a hard time learning
to read. Dyslexia takes many forms: Sometimes children reverse numbers and letters. That is what most people
commonly consider to be the first indication of dyslexia. However, there are many other factors to look for that may be less
obvious. For example:
1. Try to determine if the letters float off the page when your child reads.
2. Does your child see bubbles with letters inside on the page, and
3. Finally, does the child read line by line or in a Z fashion on the page.
These are reading tracking problems that can be helped with proper training. Also, testing to be certain the problem is not
reading comprehension or a processing issue is important. Dyslexia is a learning disability and students should have an
Individual Education Plan under Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Do not hesitate to ask the school guidance
counselor or principal to arrange testing and an IEP meeting for your child. You should attend and be ready to ask for all services offered by your school system including at least: extra test time, accommodated homework- especially if reading is involved, tutoring, help with a reading specialist and no credit off for mispelled words.
If your child is dyslexic, or you suspect that he or she is, we offer you resources to help
make learning easier and more pleasant. You are surely anxious to find professionals, programs, and products to help your
child learn to read with ease.
