“When your parental/caregiver instinct is kicking and telling you that something just isn’t right, listen to it, no one knows your child like you do.
When you have done your research and everything is pointing to dyslexia, you are probably right.”
- Dr Kelli Sandman-Hurley

Thank you Bright Solutions for Dyslexia for sharing these “Back-to-School” reminders and tips to help the transition back to school go more smoothly

Back-To-School Anxiety

For many students, going back to school is a time that buzzes with excitement and anticipation—choosing the perfect outfit, unzipping a brand-new backpack, reuniting with old friends, and soaking in the promise of a fresh start. It’s a time filled with energy, possibility, and hope.

But for students with dyslexia, returning to school can be challenging as they often face a mix of academic struggles, social uncertainty, and emotional vulnerability. Even the thought of a new school year can trigger anxiety and fear.

The good news? There are ways to make the transition smoother—and more supportive—for students with dyslexia. With preparation, communication, and the right strategies in place, the school year can begin on a stronger, more confident note.

Here are some steps that can help:

Start routines early. Consistent bedtimes, quiet reading time, and organized evenings can reduce back-to-school stress.

Talk about feelings. Acknowledge your child’s worries and reassure them they’re not alone.

Celebrate past progress. Reflecting on even small wins from last year builds confidence going into a new grade.

Meet with teachers early. Help them understand what works for your child and ensure accommodations are in place from day one.

Every student deserves to walk into the classroom feeling seen, understood, and ready to succeed—and that starts with the support they receive before the first bell even rings.

As back to school time quickly approaches, let this be a good reminder to us all.🙇‍♀️🙇🏻‍♂️

Having dyslexia can be exhausting!
So much of our day-to-day lives relies on our ability to read.
Being a dyslexic student is all-consuming.
The fatigue caused by reading, writing, spelling and studying is such a mammoth effort for us that we often feel tired.
Trying to keep up with our peers in class, keeping on top of our studies and constantly feeling like we’re falling short means we are often burnt-out and stressed by the end of the day.
We constantly feel swamped.
So please don’t ever mistake our fatigue and tiredness for being bored, lazy or defiant, in fact the opposite is usually true, we are working harder, longer and exerting more focus and energy than you can possibly imagine!

Something important to note, pay attention to and provide appropriate support.

Many people with dyslexia also have Executive Functioning problems.
This is why scaffolding ,chunking instructions down, electronic diaries etc are so important.
Thank you for this great image!
