When kids struggle with math, it can feel confusing for everyone. A lot of parents hear the phrase “math dyslexia,” but the real term is dyscalculia. It isn’t the same as dyslexia. It shows up in everyday things: mixing up number order, losing track of steps, or seeing “5” on the page but not automatically connecting it to five objects in real life. Here’s the part that surprises most parents:  a child can truly understand something one day and forget it the next. This isn’t

When you’re choosing a spelling program for a dyslexic child, the most important thing is this: make sure the instruction is rooted in the science of reading. Spelling doesn’t develop naturally. Every pattern needs to be taught directly, modeled, practiced, and reviewed.

Whether you’re a teacher, parent, or advocate for struggling readers, this video will help you see vocabulary for what it really is — the language of thought and understanding.

Dr. Timothy Rasinski, a leading literacy expert, emphasizes that fluency is more than speed; it’s reading with accuracy, phrasing, and expression to unlock true comprehension.

If phonics is learning the code, fluency is learning to use it—smoothly, automatically, and with understanding.

If phonemic awareness is about hearing sounds, phonics is about seeing them. It’s where children learn that spoken sounds are represented by letters on a page—a crucial bridge between speech and print.

Think of phonemic awareness as the first plank on your child’s bridge to reading. Before kids can connect letters to sounds, they need to...

As parents, we often trust that schools will figure things out—but when a child struggles to read, waiting can cost valuable time. This video breaks down the “Dyslexia Paradox,” a research-backed truth that early intervention is key. The best time to help a child with dyslexia is before they fall behind, while the brain is still wiring itself for reading. Learn how early, evidence-based instruction takes advantage of a window of neuroplasticity—and why every day matters. You’

The Sentence Breakthrough gives you the tools to: ✅ Teach grammar in context ✅ Build strong sentence structure skills ✅ Empower students to write with clarity and creativity Learn how this simple, structured method can change the way your students think about writing.

Every child is designed to learn. But for students with dyslexia, traditional instruction isn’t enough—they need structured literacy to unlock their potential.

One of the hardest—but most important—parts of teaching is having honest, compassionate conversations with parents when we see their child struggling.

When it comes to reading, we can’t afford to let 70% of students fall behind—but that’s exactly what’s happening. In this video, Sarah and Alana lay out a powerful metaphor: a “literacy bridge” built from phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. When any part of that bridge is weak or missing, children struggle to cross to confident, independent reading.

In this video, we’ll show you how to talk with your child’s teacher when schoolwork leads to tears—using a simple, 4-step framework that builds teamwork and real progress.

n this video, I share the 5 most common myths about dyslexia—and the truth that finally turned everything around. You’ll see how structured literacy transformed my child’s confidence, skills, and future.

When you send your child to school, you expect they’ll be taught to read with the best methods available. The problem? Many classrooms still use balanced literacy—an approach that research shows doesn’t work, especially for kids with dyslexia (and really for most struggling readers).

Parents and teachers often ask: “What does structured literacy actually look like in the classroom?” In this video, I share five practical strategies I used with my own students that make reading accessible, especially for struggling readers and those with dyslexia. You’ll learn: -Why sound walls are more powerful than traditional word walls -How to teach syllable division so big words don’t intimidate -Multi-sensory tools like rainbow mats and Elkonin boxes -How daily dictat

In this video, we’ll unpack the earliest indicators of dyslexia in preschool and kindergarten, like trouble with rhyming, sequencing, or remembering sounds.
