- 1). Spend lots of time with your children from infancy. This will help you to monitor their development with regard to speech and motor skills. If you see problems, seek help. Do not try to hide it.
- 2). Observe your child to determine if they are alert and bright in other matters not related to reading and spelling. Many dyslexic people are intellectual and express themselves well.
- 3). Review your child's school assignments done at home. Look for unusual spelling errors, omission of letters from words, or numbers written in the wrong order. When errors are found, kindly bring these to the child's attention. Commend them for their efforts and encourage them not to give up. Proactively assisting your child will heighten their self esteem.
- 4). Study your child's behavior. Lack of self respect and low self esteem can result in not being able to read or comprehend like other children in the class. Assure your child of your love for them in spite of this disability. Proactively assisting your child will heighten their personal self worth.
- 5). Help your child to be organized. This will promote a sense of accomplishment and prevent added frustration as a result of a poor memory.
- 6). Strive to make learning an enjoyable experience . Purchase books on tape and teach your child how to follow along.
- 7). Solicit the aid of a personal tutor. Direct tutoring coupled with extra effort on your child's part will enhance reading and writing skills.
