Thank you so much for sharing this- the timing is perfect. We’re just beginning to understand the implications of dyslexia and we are hungry for more information!
Hi Becky,
I’m so glad that the timing was right and you found what you needed. Is that info enough? Please let me know because the National Center for Learning Disabilities welcomes feedback and will often create more content based on questions from parents. In fact, they are seeking this feedback out!
Thanks! I am going to check out the dyslexia toolkit. It is such a mystery to me and I even have it. I wonder to if my son does as well. Maybe there are ways to help him.
Hi Ann,
I’m so glad that these resources are helpful to you! Let me know if you have additional questions or need further information. I can let The National Center of Learning Disabilities know and they will steer me to more resources for you or create more.
I am still wading through these resources, some books, and a documentary that someone loaned me. But if I were to ask for a magical article that would be of immediate help (as we just recevied the diagnosis), it would be a simple article on how I can support my child after school during homework time without doing it myself;). It’s silly really, because I am a teacher! With my own child it is different though, especially when homework takes hours for a 9 year old, and then is mostly incorrect. I know there isn’t an easy answer, but… for example in a reading packet: should I read everything out loud to him? When it comes to marking in the passage where each question’s response is found, is that something I should do for him (pointing it out to him?). When it says “which is the best summary?” and I give clues, but then he still can tell which is the best summary….? At first I would let him turn it in all wrong, with a note on the top that it was his work… now I help him (with a note on the top that I helped him). But with the work getting harder and longer, my help is also very involved and I’m not sure what we’re accomplishing….
Hi Becky,
That is great feedback. I’ll send it over to them and see what I can find from them. Thank you so much!
Sorry, typo: that should say “he still can’t tell”
Hi Becky,
You bring up a really great question that all parents can relate to! I know that I do. Sometimes am I helping too much just because I want to get my son to complete this spelling homework as fast as possible? Am I even supposed to be “helping”? I will pass it on and get back to you! Thanks again!
Thanks for the great list of resources. Visiting from Wake Up Wednesday Linky Party.
Hi Heidi,
