I am a little overwhelmed with my daughter’s school this year and was wondering if I could get some information about getting the school to provide additional assistance or information about schools that are more experienced in helping a child with dyslexia. My daughter is in 4th grade, very well behaved, and has many strengths out of basic classroom skills and reading. She has been getting services out of the classroom for language arts and math the past 3 years, learning phonics/foundations.

I have an eight year old daughter with dyslexia. I am trying to get some advice on software or books and teaching materials to help her at home.

Is there any advice you can give me...or point me towards someone who could help me set up a home program for her?

My child is in first grade this year and he has begun to have problems reversing his 6s and 9s and 2s and 5s as well as some letters.

My fiance is an adult in his 30s with dyslexia. We are trying to locate the best online program to help him improve his reading and writing through games, activities, etc. We are looking for something he can do without a tutor; basically, practice 30 minutes to 1 hour per day until his skills improve.

I see a lot of tutor-based programs for kids. I was unable to find anything for an adult that meets this criterion.

If you can provide a good recommendation, we would greatly appreciate it.
