Today I'm answering the question asking what to do when an older dyslexic child gets teased for their weak reading or writing skills.

As a bonus question, I'm also answering what to do when a younger sibling begins to read better than an older dyslexic sibling.

As the mom of 8 kids, I have lots of experience with this!
