Dyslexia can make learning and understanding normal school material very difficult for students. This article takes advantage of the fact that schools can provide multiple sources of assistance to students with dyslexia. This helps balance out their learning experience.

These sources include:

  • Implementing technology and programs to assist students with reading and writing.
  • Instructions and directions that cater to students with dyslexia.
  • Support for self esteem.

Key takeaways

  1. Schools should provide access to high quality information that will provide foundation in reading skills. This should include sufficient time for instruction and progress monitoring.
  2. Some students will require supplemental targeted or intensive intervention. Teachers should then make appropriate instructional matches based on students' needs. This should be delivered by trained individuals or educators.
  3. Students should also be provided access to accommodations, assistive technology, and social/emotional supports as needed.

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 and 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. 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.

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 is the only route to those supports.
