5 Myths About Dyslexia


When my child was in Kindergarten, I thought messy handwriting was the problem. But what I saw on the page wasn’t handwriting—it was a cry for help.


Like many parents, I was told: “Don’t worry, they’ll outgrow it.”

“Just memorize more sight words.”

“Look at the picture and guess.”


But none of it worked.


Even with an IEP, the goals weren’t right, and the support lacked consistency. My child began to believe the lie that they weren’t smart.


In 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.


If you’ve ever wondered why your child is still struggling despite all the effort… this story is for you.


Watch to the end to learn the truth: your child isn’t broken. The methods are. And with the right approach, all children are designed to learn.
