Child Dyslexia:
Reassurance, Tips And Advice From Homeschoolers

Child dyslexia is very common; get reassurance from homeschoolers about spotting the signs, the best free resources and the confidence to know that you can successfully teach your child at home.

Part 3 of The Courageous Homeschooling Handbook brings the largest group of homeschooling families ever together in one book to share the best teaching ideas to help with child dyslexia.

More importantly, they prove that even many experts agree that because child dyslexia is so individual and every child is different, homeschooling brings benefits that most schools simply can't provide. You can spend the time to work out how best to help your child and you are not tied to the same timetable and curriculum deadlines.

The Handbook inspires you to see that you CAN do this and homeschooling your child is going to make all the difference to your child.

N.B. Please note the third Courageous Homeschooling Handbook is not solely about dyslexia. It covers how to teach reading, writing and math as well as help with challenges like autism and anxiety. More info. here.

What Is Dyslexia?

Child dyslexia is a common problem, so if your child has it please know that many people (including lots of famous ones!) have gone on to successfully overcome the problem.

This is what Wikipedia says:

It's important to remember that dyslexia has NOTHING to do with intelligence.

It's also nothing your child is doing 'wrong.'

Dyslexia is something your child can't help; it's just a pattern in the way their brain works.

You can find out more about the signs and symptoms of dyslexia here, including an online test which you can use to assess dyslexia symptoms or early signs of child dyslexia.

Beat Child Dyslexia

Perhaps the most vital part of The Courageous Homeschooling Handbook is that it shares real life stories from fellow homeschoolers. They know exactly what you're going through and show how homeschooling can transform your child's life.

Beaming with pride that my son - my anxious - dyslexic, dyspraxic kid is a success and it's because he did it - NOT me. My job - and I did it well - was to instill confidence, NEVER GIVE UP ....

YOU GOT THIS. YOU GOT THIS MOM and so does your kid!!!!”
