Two Small Changes for Helping Children with Dyslexia: Reading and Spelling Strategies
In this episode of Days with Dyslexia, speech-language pathologist Michelle Morgan shares two simple, science-backed strategies parents can use at home to strengthen reading and spelling for children with dyslexia, dysgraphia, or ADHD.
The first strategy focuses on teaching 'smooth and stretchy speech' to help children sound out words more naturally and ease the strain on their working memory.
The second strategy involves saying the sounds of letters as children write them, building stronger connections between letters and sounds in the brain.
Michelle emphasizes the importance of these techniques for developing strong literacy skills and provides practical guidance for parents on how to implement them at home.
