I am a mother of two dyslexic children ages 10 and 6. When I first noticed this issue I was extremely upset because I knew very little about dyslexia and was quite shaken by the unknown. After MUCH research, I have discovered that the challenge is not theirs, but mine. They have been blessed with a very special gift and I must find the best way to teach my 'gifted' children. Many famous and successful people are dyslexic. As their teacher, I have learned to think 'out of the box'. So get out the paints, clay, playdoe, sand, blocks, or whatever your imagination can crank out and enjoy the ride. Believe me, your kids (whether they are dyslexic or not) will enjoy this approach to learning much more than just staring at a book for hours a day. One other suggestion. I always make them exercise their bodies before they exercise their minds. This makes it much easier for them to settle down and focus when they need to the most.
Yours Truly,
Happy Mom!
