For a child with dyslexia, learning to write may be just as challenging as learning to read. In this video, Michael Clark of Dyslexia Improvements discusses ways to help a child with dyslexia improve their written skills. 

Example tips include focusing on the sentence quality rather than spelling or handwriting, and the importance of using reading to build their writing skills.

There are also hands-on activities, or even simply saying the letters out loud when reading back, learning through ears and hands, not eyes. With some practice, your child's written skills can get right back on track.

There are easy ways to drastically improve your reading ability by identifying just one "micro-skill.”
Use our simple online analysis tool to help you find what areas need strengthened.
