Why Tyrannosaurus But Not If ?
A Home For Dyslexic Thinking
"I don't understand it:
He can read tyrannosaurus, but he gets stuck on if !!".
Dear Parent,
So your child is struggling at school, and you don’t know why. Perhaps your child has been given a label such as dyslexia. But the label doesn’t come with reasons and explanations.
• Does this mean my child is stupid?
• What does it mean for his future career?
• How can I best support his homework?
• When should I be strict; when understanding?
• What does it mean when he comes home upset?
• Am I being too interfering in my engagement with his school? Or too laid back?
Some parents commission an educational psychologist assessment but then struggle to understand the scores and terms used in the assessment report.
Some find that they are explaining their child’s learning profile and needs to his teachers over and over again at parent-teacher meetings.
Many worry that, although they feel they understand their child, they don’t feel they understand his dyslexia.
Just as the hardworking dyslexic child is left with feelings of inadequacy after every class test, so his caring, dedicated parents are left feeling ineffectual when they sit down to help him with his homework.
