This sweet girl completed the Barton Reading & Spelling System yesterday! It was a bittersweet moment but luckily, I still get to see her for her writing sessions! SO PROUD OF YOU!!!

This couldn't be more true.

There is a new episode on the Sold a Story podcast. It’s my favorite podcast on reading instruction and this one was no exception. Check it out! It’s fantastic!

Sold a Story: How Teaching Kids to Read Went So Wrong There's an idea about how children learn to read that's held sway in schools for more than a generation — even though it was proven wrong by cognitive scientists decades ago. Teaching methods based on this idea can make it harder for children to learn how to read. In this new podcast, host Emily H...

Are you interested in having your child screened for Dyslexia? There are many warning signs of dyslexia, even in preschoolers. It is also incredibly hereditary. If a parent is dyslexic, a child has a 50% chance of also being dyslexic. Screenings are a vital piece in ensuring your child is on the path to reading success.

It is important for your child to understand that while dyslexia makes reading, writing, and spelling challenging, it's also the reason they have unique talents in one or more of the areas.

These strengths can pave the way to successful and fulfilling careers.

Art
Their ability to visualize in 3 dimensions in their head can lead to success in architecture, landscape design, fashion design, interior design, web design, painting, animation, sculpture, or photography.

Athletics
Their amazing athletic skills can lead to becoming a professional athlete, a coach, or even someone who organizes or hosts athletic events.

Music
Even though they have trouble reading printed music, their musical ability can lead to great careers as performers, composers, or music teachers.

People Skills
Their intuitive understanding of what people are feeling, what motivates them, and how to get people to like them, results in being a natural leader. That may be why they are often very successful in starting and running companies. They also make great psychologists and teachers, and many politicians have dyslexia.

Story Telling
Many famous authors, as well as TV and film producers share that their dyslexia is one reason why they are so successful.

Intelligence, Natural Curiosity, and Love of Logic
Those 3 qualities combined make them great scientists. Many instantly love, understand,and can fix anything mechanical. And they tend to love computers, whether it is building, fixing or improving computers, or creating apps or programs.

So, parents, for every hour you spend getting your child the right type of tutoring (to improve their weak skills), you need to spend an equal hour (or more) helping your child find and grow their gifted areas.
