Dyslexia: What it is — and what actually helps
Dyslexia is a language-based learning difference that affects reading, spelling, and written language. It’s not about intelligence or effort — and “more reading” usually isn’t the fix.
Common signs (K–8):
- Guessing words instead of sounding them out
- Slow, choppy reading or avoiding reading
- Weak spelling and trouble remembering patterns
- Difficulty with fluency and written expression
What works:
Structured Literacy: explicit, systematic instruction in decoding, spelling, and fluency — taught step-by-step with lots of guided practice.
