Best of RAR: Is My Child Dyslexic?
On today\u2019s Best of Read Aloud Revival episode, I\u2019m replaying one of our most popular episodes.
Without fail, at every homeschool conference, at least one person comes up to me and says, \u201cDyslexia was not even on my radar until I listened to the episode with Marianne Sunderland.\u201d
And that\u2019s because most of us don\u2019t understand what dyslexia really is and the signals to look for in our kids. And we don\u2019t know what to do when they do show signs of having a dyslexic brain.
It\u2019s important to remember that a dyslexic brain is not a disorder. Nothing needs to be fixed. It\u2019s the way God made your child\u2019s brain. And it\u2019s genetic, so it\u2019s the way God made your brain or your husband\u2019s brain too.
Dyslexia means your child processes language differently, which means we need to teach dyslexic brains in a way that makes sense to dyslexic brains.
If you have any academic frustrations with your kids of any age, listen to this episode. Even if dyslexia is nowhere on your radar, I encourage you to listen. You might be surprised.
In this episode, you\u2019ll hear:\xa0
- Dispelling myths about dyslexia as a learning disability or sign of low intelligence
- Signs and signals to look out for beyond difficulties with reading
- How homeschooling can provide better support for dyslexic kids than traditional schools
