Do you ever wonder, “What dyslexia is like?”

If you have a child with dyslexia, understanding what dyslexia is like for your child will help you work with your child better.

Since parents sometimes think their kids are just NOT trying hard enough. Knowing what your child is experiencing will help you teach your child better.

Children with dyslexia are often gifted at thinking outside the box. However, their unique minds affect their reading skills. Often kids with dyslexia have difficulty with other subjects besides reading. Their brains are different, so information processing can be affected in in unexpected ways.
