Best of RAR: Is My Child Dyslexic?
On today’s Best of Read Aloud Revival episode, I’m replaying one of our most popular episodes.Without fail, at every homeschool conference, at least one person comes up to me and says, “Dyslexia was not even on my radar until I listened to the episode with Marianne Sunderland.”And that’s because most of us don’t understand what dyslexia really is and the signals to look for in our kids. And we don’t know what to do when they do show signs of having a dyslexic brain.It’s important to remember that a dyslexic brain is not a disorder. Nothing needs to be fixed. It’s the way God made your child’s brain. And it’s genetic, so it’s the way God made your brain or your husband’s brain too.Dyslexia means your child processes language differently, which means we need to teach dyslexic brains in a way that makes sense to dyslexic brains.If you have any academic frustrations with your kids of any age, listen to this episode. Even if dyslexia is nowhere on your radar, I encourage you to listen. You might be surprised.In this episode, you’ll hear: Dispelling myths about dyslexia as a learning disability or sign of low intelligenceSigns and signals to look out for beyond difficulties with readingHow homeschooling can provide better support for dyslexic kids than traditional schoolsLearn more about Sarah Mackenzie:Read Aloud RevivalWaxwing BooksSubscribe to the NewsletterFind the rest of the show notes at: readaloudrevival.com/is-my-child-dyslexic/ Get your FREE RAR Premium Sample: https://readaloudrevival.com/sample
