Is Dyselxia a Gift?

Here’s an interesting article that isn’t just trying to make people with dyslexia feel good about themselves – it points out how many gifts kids with dyslexia have for learning. It can be frustrating and confusing for teachers and parents to have a child who is smart but can’t seem to learn how to read.

Our tutors are prepared to adjust lessons based on a student’s learning needs. Some students pick up the rules very quickly, but can’t remember them the next day so we make sure they practice using the rules until they are automatic. Others take a while to learn one rule, but never forget it once they understand it. Some need mnemonic tricks and stories to remember rules, others need visuals and graphs. Whatever your child needs to learn how to read, we will provide.

At The Reading Clinic, we know both the gifts and the struggles that dyslexia has to offer. We are the experts at adjusting our wealth of knowledge to fit your child’s needs and making sure they learn how to read.
