How to Help Your Dyslexic Child
Treating dyslexia is not like treating a medical issue. Dyslexia never goes away, and it cannot be outgrown. As a result, the best treatment is intense, one-on-one tutoring and remediation. Therefore, using a Structured Literacy program can help your dyslexic child thrive. Your child can learn the skills they need to succeed, overcoming some of the struggles students with dyslexia often face. Above all, this includes difficulties with reading, spelling, and writing.
Dyslexia Learning Center only utilizes top programs with reported results.
Specifically, the Barton Reading & Spelling System is a multi-sensory, Structured Literacy program. This tutoring system is based on Orton-Gillingham principles and is a trusted name in helping your dyslexic child.
Target Tutoring Areas
Reading
The Barton program strengthens the weak phonemic awareness skills that typically accompanies dyslexia.
For example, the program provides students with sufficient practice in hearing, isolating, repeating, and manipulating phonemes to improve their processing skills.
Next, once the student has reached a certain level, we move on to using graphemes and reading words.
Finally, as the students move through the program, reading individual words leads to reading phrases, then reading sentences, and finally reading paragraphs!
Spelling
Being unable to spell common words can lower a child’s self-confidence and make it difficult to ace writing assignments.
However, that’s where DLC can help! First, we teach students how to sound out certain words and match the sounds to letters. Next, we provide our students with a toolbox of spelling rules that show them how to spell more difficult words.
Sight words—words that do not follow the spelling rules, which the child cannot sound out—are particularly hard for those with dyslexia to learn how to spell (and read). These words, such as “what” and “you,” simply have to be memorized.
Therefore, our tutors check each students’ ability to read and spell sight words to target the ones they need to work on together.
Writing
Writing can often be one of the most difficult tasks for a dyslexic student.
For that reason, we offer an optional writing program. It is a step-by-step, structured approach to writing composition that can greatly improve a student’s ability to compose stories, essays, and letters.
In addition, we have a handwriting program that can be purchased upon request and used at home.
