Literacy development in young students with dyslexia is best accomplished through using specific strategies. The video below highlights the struggles dyslexic students face in the classroom and provides some of those strategies that can mediate the situation.
Some examples they suggest are a use of multi-sensory activities, movable devices, images, flashcards, tablet apps and other teaching aids. By utlizing different types of teaching, it’s possible for dyslexic students to make significant gains in literacy development.
These strategies can also equal the playing field for students, as the entire classroom can feel like they can learn and maintain a high level of self-esteem.
There are specific brain exercises and games you can do with your child to begin to improve their learning, and we’d love to help you discover them.

Key takeaways
- The key in teaching mastery of English is to teach students how to spell and read without any difficulties, so that they are able to follow class lessons like their peers with enhanced self-esteem.
- Suggested practical literacy techniques to help dyslexic learners: use of multi-sensory activities, use of movable devices, images, flashcards, tablet apps and other teaching aids.
- Not all dyslexic learners will learn the same ways, so there is a need to provide different ways or methods of teaching them.

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 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.
