Dyslexia Reading Center

🤗💖🤗

Rick DeForrest calls his work "dysinformation" to show what it felt like growing up with dyslexia - the mix‑ups, the misunderstandings, the silence.

Rick grew up with dyslexia in a time when few people even knew what dyslexia was. No one talked about dyslexia. He didn’t even have the words for it himself.

Now, clay is his voice; it's his way of putting something the world couldn’t explain into something it can finally see through art and personal storytelling.

What do you wish you’d known sooner?

About your child.
About their learning needs.
About what it could’ve felt like if support had come before the struggle.

Maybe you saw things that made you wonder.
Maybe you asked how to help.
Maybe something inside you kept tugging -
even when others said, “Don’t worry.”

We know many parents carry a moment like this. 💛
If you feel like sharing yours, we're listening.

When support feels right, everything changes.
It’s not just about helping kids learn - it’s about helping them believe they can.

Every child deserves that kind of care.

📚💛 At Dyslexia Reading Center, we create learning environments where support is felt - not just given.

Summer comes in waves. Parenting can too. 🌊

Tides shift. Schedules drift. Moods rise. Emotions roll in - and sometimes spill over. Needs show up in new ways.

Some days are calm - soft, steady, almost still. Others churn beneath the surface.

And then there are days that ask more than you thought you had to give.
And still, somehow, you do.

Not every wave moves gently.
Some pull hard.
Some come faster than you can catch your breath.

But love doesn’t leave with the tide -
it’s there when the waters calm, and when they don’t. 💛

🌟 We’d love to hear from you: What’s one way you find calm?
Your story might help another parent today. 💬

It’s easy to slip into correction mode — to focus on what needs fixing, teaching, reminding. But children don’t grow from constant critique…

They grow from connection.

Yes, they need guidance.
Yes, they’ll make mistakes.
But what they need most is to feel safe, seen, and deeply loved — especially in the moments they’re hardest to love.

Let your love be the anchor.
Let it be what echoes louder than your frustration.

Because long after the lecture is forgotten…
They’ll remember how you made them feel.

Lead with love.
The lessons will follow. ❤️

💡 You are not alone. Many parents share this same fear—but with the right support and understanding, children with dyslexia can thrive both in school and in life.

📚 Let’s break the stigma and build a community where every child feels seen, supported, and set up for success.

You saw a child turn in their assignment.
You didn’t see what it took to get there.

Every reread.
Every erased word.
Every moment they almost gave up - but didn’t.

🧠 Dyslexia doesn’t always look like struggle - but the effort is real.

💙 Be the reason someone feels seen today.

👉 A thank-you to the teachers who helped children feel safe, seen, and supported.

You responded with presence - not pressure.

💬 What’s something your child’s teacher said or did this year that stayed with you?

We love when our community shares content with real impact — and this one is powerful.

Early dyslexia identification can change a child’s life. Great appreciation to Jamie Oliver for championing awareness.

Did you know out of 100 kids, at least 10 are dyslexic, but only 2 are diagnosed at school...early identification changes lives. Without it, kids struggle with confidence, self-esteem, and anxiety. Don't miss Jamie's Dyslexia Revolution tomorrow night on Channel 4 at 9pm... #ComeOnBridget
