  • When Dyslexic Kids Get Teased

    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!

    Resources mentioned:

    What is Dyslexia? A Parent's Guide to Teaching Kids About Dyslexia. This is my children's book for kids 5-12 to teach them about what they may be experiencing and feeling being dyslexic. It also has a section on the strengths of dyslexia.
