Just for Parents

As parents of dyslexic children, we have shared many of the same frustrations in trying to understand their problems and in getting them the help needed to succeed in school. The following is how our journey began.

The teacher greeted me, and we discussed the move and Jamie's new school. As we were leaving her room, the teacher suggested that Jamie might benefit repeating the second grade at her new school. Her reason was that Jamie had been working so slowly. No one at her new school would know that she was repeating a grade.

Having experience in special education and knowing how to assist Jamie with her homework helped, but not in the classroom. Not now. I knew that a solution was needed, but what? More testing was suggested. However, I had the feeling that the teacher and principal did not understand this any better than I did. Now I am positive of that fact. I believe the same would be the case in most schools today and, as unbelievable as it sounds, on all levels.

I am grateful that I was able to develop Drive Reading Rules reading method to help my daughter. I believe any parent can teach their dyslexic child to read, given the right tools.
