Dyslexic children’s parents are their greatest allies when it comes to advocacy. But it’s still ultimately the teachers that are responsible for educating the children, and the strategies of those two groups may not always line up. When a child has a learning disability like dyslexia, it’s imperative that all educators and guardians in that child’s life be able to cooperate — and then allow those children to eventually advocate for themselves.
This video, Dyslexia and Learning Differences, highlights the ways which parents and teachers can work as a team to implement strategies for their children. A key element to ensuring the development of a dyslexic child is implementing methods of patience and understanding. These plans can help dyslexic students in both in the school setting and in life, and can teach them how to advocate for their disability and seek help when necessary. This, in turn, can lead them to success.
In addition to these strategies, you’ll also want to get a program started to develop their weaker micro-skills. By building up these small skills you’ll develop better reading skills in your child.

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.
