  • Choose books on topics they love. Does your son love trucks? Does your daughter love owls? Ask the librarianto recommend books on those topics.
  • Strengthen their core cognitive skills. Research shows that most reading struggles are due to weak cognitive skills.In children and teens with dyslexia, those skills are often phonemic awarenessand auditory processing. Consider having your child’s cognitiveskills assessed and then trained. Read more about how personal brain trainingcan help: (www.LearningRx.com)
  • Reward them for milestones. When a child reads his first book on his own or finishes an entire series,celebrate in grand fashion.
  • Make sure they’re reading at the right level. Librarians are trained to help you find books to match your child’sreading skill level, so let them help. If you choose a book that’stoo easy, your child may get bored; too hard and they may give up.
