Ways To Handle Dysgraphia

One exercise you can do with dyslexic kids to help them is have them circle the main idea when they are practicing reading.

Ways To Handle Dysgraphia
There are quite a few accommodations that people can give kids who are struggling with dysgraphia. Any handwriting can be painful to a kid who struggles with dysgraphia. Verbal tests are good accommodation for them. There are quite a few other accommodations that can help deal with dysgraphia as well. Circling the main idea is one thing that can be quite helpful. It is important to only give them things they can handle and not make the process too much info at once.

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.
