What can parents do to help their dyslexic child?

Parental support greatly affects the achievement of the student.
Explain your child's learning differences to him and answer his questions.
Set high standards and attainable goals
TALK to your child. These children often learn the best orally, so introduce all the vocabulary and learning situations you can.
READ to your child and with your child.
Focus on your child's strengths and abilities. Encourage hobbies, interests, and talents.
Set a study schedule at home. Your child may need homework support from YOU. Plus, thay may need extra time each evening to complete assignments.
Keep in close contact with your student's teachers (Email works great!) AND monitor their grades daily online. Encourage your child to take advantage of tutoring opportunities.
Incorporate technology whenever possible. Computers with spelling software can be a dyslexic student's best friend. Encourage your child to learn to keyboard. Comanche ISD provides multiple opportunities for students to learn to keyboard, but they may need encouragement from you.
Read about dyslexia or visit informative websites and see what your can learn.
