In This Episode:
How do you talk about dyslexia with kids? We dive into the reason why you should tell a child they have dyslexia. We want to empower students to name their challenge so they can make a plan to overcome it.
We also discuss how you can help a student to not feel like they are the only one with dyslexia. Connect with other families of dyslexic children so the child knows there are more kids like them.
Inspire the dyslexic student by showing them people and characters who are dyslexic and successful. Give them something to aspire to! This episode is full of inspiring books with dyslexic characters (links below).
