Four of my six children have learning disabilities/dyslexia. My main question: how do we keep them encouraged, and help them own their own learning style? My husband has tried his very best to guide and teach them. Do you know of any conferences, seminars, tangible interactive groups that they could participate in? A place to learn how to pick up all these "tools" for success? Like a summer class?

I am a teacher in a private school with a dyslexic student in my classroom. Our resources are limited by time and availability. My goal is to make reading for this student a successful achievement eventually leading him to become a confident, independent reader who can succeed on his own. He is a very bright boy and he is very unsure of himself. Please let me know what I can do to further assist this child, and to ensure that my class is a Dyslexic Friendly classroom.

I have a teen who has dyslexia and has an IEP in public school. My child is getting straight A's and B's in all classes, except for Spanish. I am struggling with the school to implement the correct accommodations for Spanish, as well as to provide my son with the accommodations that are in his IEP. I am looking to get some ideas for other accommodations to make him successful to at least get a C in the class. He gets all A's on his coursework but fails every single assessment.

I was inspired to write this piece after reading A Fish in a Tree by Lynda Mullaly Hunt (2015). The book (without giving it away for those of you who haven't read it yet) tells the story of a sixth-grade girl who struggles because of dyslexia that goes undiagnosed until a wise teacher sees, and more importantly, fosters and celebrates her gifts, while teaching her to read.

My daughter is in 6th grade and has been now clinically diagnosed with moderate dyslexia. I'm trying to get help for her through her school. The last 3 years she's been failing subjects and not meeting IEP goals. I wanted her to attend a dyslexic academy, however, her school now said they have the Sonday Reading program. Will this program also serve as an effective alternative for a moderate dyslexic? I know it depends on each person, but I would like to know if you have information regarding this program.

I am trying to help my 17 year old daughter in her college search—we want to help her select a school where she can succeed. Do you have any suggestions on how to determine what type of a school is good for her? How to set her up for success? Any places with dyslexia-specific programs? How to get a mentor or tutor to help her make the transition?

My daughter is entering 9th grade in a few weeks. She has dyslexia. We have grappled with the foreign language course of study. Her high school offers Latin, and I’ve read on your site that Latin roots are helpful to students with dyslexia. Do you recommend Latin as a foreign language for students with dyslexia? I’ve also read that Spanish is a better course to study as well. She has tried French in middle school and that was a disaster. I’m concerned that Spanish will be just as difficult for her.
