Unlock Reading Potential

Support for Dyslexia at Home

Dyslexia is a language-based learning difference that affects reading. If your child or loved one faces challenges with reading, you might feel uncertain about where to turn for help. Reading success is possible with the right support and instruction.

How Dyslexia Affects Learning

Dyslexia doesn’t reflect intelligence—it’s a different way of learning. Those with dyslexia often have exceptional creativity and problem-solving skills. Research shows that specific teaching methods can rewire the brain to improve reading skills.

“Dyslexia is not a disease to have and to be cured of, but a way of thinking and learning. Often it’s a gifted mind waiting to be found and taught.”
Girard Sagmiller, “Dyslexia My Life”

Teaching the Brain to Read

Research by Yale’s Drs. Sally and Bennet Shaywitz reveals that individuals with dyslexia process reading differently, with some brain areas overworked while others are under-activated. However, with explicit, sequential, and multisensory instruction based on the Orton-Gillingham approach, their brains can build the connections needed for reading success.
