Worth Checking Out

Lots of fad reading therapies have come and gone, but a new font designed for dyslexic readers is very intriguing.

It will not remedy a reader’s weak phonological processing, but the visual differences in each letter could be very helpful.

Check it out: Bold Stroke: New Font Helps Dyslexics Read [Slide Show]: Scientific American.

For around $100, I might have to try it out! Watch this space….

This tab from the Learning Disabilities Association of America is a helpful one for families who may be new to the world of learning disabilities. The first step to getting help for your child is to be informed.

Please let me know if you have any questions!
