👉🏼Here are simple and effective strategies parents can use at home to support their children with dyslexia:

- Read Aloud Together
Read to your child regularly, even if they can read independently. This helps build their vocabulary and love for stories without the pressure of decoding.

- Use Audiobooks
Provide access to audiobooks so your child can enjoy stories at their level while developing listening comprehension skills.

- Practice Multisensory Learning
Incorporate sight, sound, touch, and movement when practicing letters and words. Use tools like sandpaper letters, tracing letters in sand, or magnetic letters.

- Break Tasks into Small Steps
Divide reading or homework tasks into smaller, more manageable steps to prevent overwhelm and build confidence.

- Be Patient and Encouraging
Celebrate small victories and progress. Dyslexia is a lifelong journey, and encouragement boosts your child's self-esteem and willingness to learn.

- Use Technology to Assist
Explore apps and tools like speech-to-text and text-to-speech software, which can make reading and writing more accessible.

- Create a Quiet Reading Environment
Minimize distractions during reading time to help your child focus better and improve their comprehension.

- Work with Teachers
Stay in close contact with your child's teachers to ensure they're receiving appropriate support in school. Share strategies that work at home for consistency.

- Focus on Strengths
Help your child explore their strengths and talents outside of reading, such as art, sports, or other interests, to build confidence.

- Model a Growth Mindset
Emphasize effort over perfection. Encourage your child to see challenges as opportunities to learn and grow, reinforcing the idea that they can improve over time.

Here are a few fun ways to practice gratitude to help strengthen empathy and communication skills!

💙Thankful Journals: Encourage kids to draw or write about something they’re grateful for daily. This can be as simple as “I’m thankful for my pet” or “I’m grateful for sunny days!”
💙Gratitude Circle Time: In group settings, like family dinners or class, ask each child to say one thing they appreciate about a friend, family member, or teacher.
💙Creative Thank You Cards: Have children create colorful thank-you notes for friends or family. Not only does this reinforce positive feelings, but it also builds fine motor and language skills!
