Seeking Help for a Struggling Dyslexic Reader


As adults, we forget the struggle that came with learning one of the most important skills we need to succeed - reading. Reading is the foundation of all education. Struggling to read is extremely stressful and disheartening for young children or children with learning difficulties. Like learning any new skill, reading is involved and comes with its own set of challenges and frustrations.

For dyslexic children in particular, reading is not a skill that comes naturally. It requires extra effort, motivation, and support from both the child and the parent. While some kids can pick up reading easily, others struggle. What can we do to help?

Here are 5 ways in which you can support your little reader.

1. Reading aloud

Reading aloud is extremely beneficial to both dyslexic and nondyslexic young readers alike. It builds knowledge, vocabulary, and confidence. Beyond this, reading aloud is one of the most important aspects of reading comprehension. Being able to sound out words and say them aloud allows struggling readers to audibly retain their meaning, recognize patterns, and learn valuable decoding skills that will improve their overall reading ability. If a reader makes a mistake reading aloud, Readability allows them the opportunity to correct themselves and move on, letting them learn without discouraging them.

2. Follow along

Staying on track within a sentence can be harder than it seems. Struggling readers are often told to trace what they read with their index finger as a way to stay on track with the material. Having an application which clearly displays what is read and highlights what is left to read dramatically aids a dyslexic child’s ability to focus on the material. Readability does just this, preventing a struggling reader from getting distracted within the material. Like having an in-person tutor guide your child through a story, Readability does this virtually and effectively through AI technology.

1. Reading aloud

3. Phonics

As a skilled reader, what tools do you use to pronounce a word you’ve never seen before? The answer is phonics! From a young age you are taught to ‘sound it out’ - phonics is a method of teaching English which focuses on the most common sound-spelling relationships so that young readers can decode, or sound out, words. Phonics emphasizes on the correlation between various sounds and their spellings. Learning phonics early on leads to stronger vocabulary, better pronunciation, and reading confidence. Readability uses phonics within its original content to develop these attributes within our young readers.

4. Feedback and clarification

Providing feedback to a struggling reader is integral in their journey towards improvement. Gentle clarification and encouragement can make the difference between a reader who is frustrated and one who is motivated, even if they are still struggling. Seeing while hearing the correct pronunciation of a word can aid in a child’s understanding and retention of said word. Readability uses AI technology to listen to your child read aloud and provides instantaneous feedback and correction when they skip or mispronounce a word.

5. Appropriate reading level and pace

Did you know reading level is not the same as grade level? Many children’s reading level and grade level align, however, this isn’t the case for all kids. Some readers can be levels above or below their grade. The most important thing about improving reading is starting at your child’s personal reading level regardless of their current grade level. Aiming too low will not provide a challenge and aiming too high may prove to be too difficult and discourage your reader. Make a point to be reasonable in your expectations of your child’s reading. Start at a pace that is most comfortable for your struggling reader so as to build their confidence early on.
