Reading is a large part of a child’s school day and children who struggle with the diagnosis of dyslexia can find this an extremely challenging obstacle to completing tasks successfully. Frustration, stress, and feeling like a failure can come from the difficulty dyslexic children face when presented with reading material.

Acknowledging that reading is a draining experience for children with dyslexia, the article suggests practical activities parents can use for at-home reading practice. Suggestions include joke books and graphic novels, as well as the written content of social media applications.

There are ways to help a dyslexic child practice their reading and comprehension skills without them feeling like they have been doomed to drudgery. A cookbook is a great way for a dyslexic child to read step by step instructions and then carry out each task as a way to practice their comprehension of the information. Comic books are also great because when a child feels frustrated by the content they can glance through the pictures without focusing on the reading. Joke books are even a great way to lighten the mood when a child is practicing their reading.

Key Takeaways:

1
School may burn out students with dyslexia due to the amount of reading.
2
It is important to teach your children that there is opportunity to practice reading everywhere.
3
Joke books, blogs, and comic books are great ways to practice reading without overwhelming dyslexics.
