Learn About Dyslexia

Phonological awareness is different from phonics (and includes phonemic awareness) and is an essential skill to learn to read. Therefore, it is critical to make this concept explicit for all students with dyslexia. This page and video help explain further.

Many students with dyslexia struggle with reading fluency. Not only does fluency include rate and accuracy, it also encompasses prosody (pacing and pausing) and intonation. A reading apprenticeship provides a way to achieve these elements of oral reading.

Your child's teacher may see 100 or more students per day. There is no way they can possibly know more about your child than you do. Be confident when working with the school!

Consistency, firmness, and a forgiving attitude are just three of these five solid attributes required for guiding your dyslexic child down the path of success.
