WHAT WILL WE LEARN

Dyslexia is widely known as a reading disorder that affects people anywhere from very slightly to chronically. Daily lives are affected by this disorder. Dr. Yishan talked with Anna Strange, an author and a mother who embraces her dyslexia and has accepted it as part of her life’s challenges.

Here is some words of advice she left us with:

On helping your children embrace the struggles of learning to read:
- Make sure there are still ways for them to breathe and enjoy life because it is enjoyment that will help them ultimately want to learn more
On the best times for seeking intervention for your children:
- Early intervention is proven to be effective when finding ways to help your children learn to read.
On ways that might help children with dyslexia learn to read:
- Learning with audio helps greatly with reading for those with dyslexia
On how to embrace your life with dyslexia:
- While there is no magical way to make this challenge disappear, it is a great opportunity to find ways to help better yourself and realize struggles in others around you.
