The internet has a wealth of advice and learning opportunities, but when it comes to your child’s dyslexia, we’d like to help you sift through the information overload.
If your child is struggling with reading, it’s often just as challenging for parents to to figure out what advice is most worthwhile. While it’s certainly good to have the options for seeking advice, it’s simply overwhelming just how many dyslexia and reading-centered bloggers and websites there are — and they aren’t all equally helpful. The last thing parents need is to repeat the same instruction that already frustrated their children in school. As a parent, the material should inspire you to help your child, but the sheer mass of sometimes conflicting assistance can have the opposite effect.
But you can’t afford to not try, and we can help. The stakes are simply too high for your child, and regardless of the professionals in your child’s life, you “get” your child best. That’s why we at Learning Success Blog want to help, by curating the internet periodically for helpful resources or news for you.
Perhaps you’d like a free font catered to dyslexics — OpenDyslexic is a great downloadable tool. Or for tablet users, this Overlays app is available in the iTunes store and can greatly help with reading blocks of text.
Reading Focus Cardsare, according to the website, “sensory-appealing and customizable reading tools and solutions for challenged readers of all ages,” and they’re available in PC desktop and Mac app form.
Learning Ally is a top resource for audiobooks, while the Eye Gazeis a new device that can help young children’s eye movement with reading. For simple technology tips, here’s a great iPad trick for tablet readers.
You absolutely can do it, and we’ll help you along the way.

Never stop learning
Many of these resources were originally referred by the Help For Struggling Readers Blog and their post, Raising Awareness & Providing Supportive Resources for Dyslexia, another great compilation of resources. That list also includes lists of helpful books by the most knowledgeable people in the field of dyslexia.
We believe you absolutely can be the one intervene on your child’s behalf, even if that task seems daunting. It’s up to you as a parent whether you accept or dismiss the resources we offer, but we promise that if you keep stopping by, you very well might find a solution that’s exactly the right fit for your child.
Key Takeaways:
1
There are both good and bad resources on the web.
2
We're here for you, to help curate the internet with the best resources.
3
You're your child's best teacher and academic interventionist.
Most of all, we hope you continue to grow in your role as the chief educator of your child. You absolutely can do it, and we’ll help you along the way. And remember: no matter what other sources you tap into, you will always be your child’s greatest educational resource.
Is Your Child Struggling in School?
Get Your FREE Personalized Learning Roadmap
You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
✓Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice—30-45 minutes, at your own kitchen table
✓Your child sits no test and gets no score—nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
✓You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
✓Access all 40+ courses instantly—reading, math, focus, processing & more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits—we work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. Doing that by hand for every family would take weeks each. This way the roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models. See our privacy policy.
Cancel anytime during your 7-day free trial—no risk.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing, or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too—that's the only route to those supports.
