Tips for Dyslexia Parents
Read Aloud Every Day
Kids with dyslexia often have strong listening comprehension. Reading aloud builds vocabulary and shows them that stories are wonderful—even while they're building decoding skills.
Make It Multisensory
Use magnetic letters, write words in sand or shaving cream, or trace letters in the air. Dyslexic brains learn best when multiple senses are engaged at once.
Separate Reading From Intelligence
Kids with dyslexia often feel "dumb" because reading is hard. Remind them that dyslexia has nothing to do with intelligence—their brain is wired for big-picture thinking and creativity.
Know Your Rights in Texas
Texas schools are required to screen for dyslexia and provide appropriate intervention. If you suspect dyslexia, request a screening in writing—and don't be afraid to advocate for your child.
