How to Support a Child with Dyslexia

Welcome to another episode of the Mom-entum Podcast, where we inspire, uplift, and empower women on their journey through motherhood. Today, I’m joined by my cousin Leah Barnes, a mother of five who shares her journey of navigating the challenges of helping her 12-year-old daughter, Ellie, thrive in school despite her dyslexia.   In this episode, we discuss the trials and triumphs Leah has faced, emphasizing that difficulty in reading does not equate to a lack of intelligence. With dyslexia affecting approximately 20% of the population, it’s essential to understand its implications and how to support our children effectively. We explore valuable strategies for early intervention, advocacy, and creating a positive learning environment.   If you’re looking for concrete ways to support your child with dyslexia, be sure to check out the show notes by clicking here for a comprehensive list of resources and actionable tips that can help you and your child succeed.
