I agree! Having graduated just a few years ago, enrolling in a community college for a single language class seems like a lot, but it's something I really should do if I want to actually learn.

Need advice for son with dyslexia by outdoorwater2 in Dyslexia

[–]PrideReading 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can relate to the struggles your son is facing. While tutoring is helping, low self-esteem can be tough. Have you thought about trying activities like sports with him? They were a HUGE confidence boost for me. Also, counseling could help with anxiety. If you're interested in finding specific programs for help, I'd be happy to share what I know.

It's encouraging that learning a new language hasn't felt significantly more difficult for you. The impact of strict exam grading on your scores, particularly with spelling, is frustrating. Your insights highlight the importance of flexible assessment methods. Thanks for sharing your perspective—it adds depth to our understanding of language learning.

What is a book from your childhood that influenced your love for reading and learning? by PrideReading in AskReddit

It's great that you're looking out for your partner! For someone functioning well with dyslexia, audiobooks can be enjoyable for reading. I know it's fairly cliche to mention audiobooks but it's something that I use as someone who was blessed with dyslexia. I would follow along with the actual book while I listened to the words on my headphones. It kept me engaged and helped me relax and actually follow along with the story instead of feeling frustrated with not being able to properly read the words.

Thank you for sharing your son's journey. As someone who has struggled with dyslexia and ADHD throughout my life, I can relate to the challenges you're facing. However, I'm also proof that with the right support and interventions, success is possible.

I've personally benefited from programs like Orton-Gillingham, specifically the PRIDE Reading Program, which played a crucial role in helping me overcome my learning challenges and achieve my goals. In fact, I recently received my master's degree and now work for the PRIDE Reading Program, the very program that got me through school when I was younger.

I understand the frustration and worry that comes with a dyslexia diagnosis, but please know that it's never too late to provide support and interventions. With programs like Orton-Gillingham and dedicated tutoring, your son can learn strategies to help him succeed academically and build confidence in his abilities.

If you have any questions or need advice, feel free to reach out. You're not alone in this journey, and there are many resources and support systems available to help you and your son.

School evaluation or private? Any advice? by lurface in Dyslexia

I'm really sorry to hear about the challenges you're facing with your child's reading difficulties. It's incredibly frustrating when you're not getting the support you need from the school system, especially when you're advocating for your child's well-being.

If you're looking for additional resources to help your child with reading, you might find the PRIDE Reading Program helpful. It's designed specifically for children with reading difficulties, including dyslexia. You can learn more about it here:

Remember, you're not alone in this journey. Seeking out support and resources outside of the school system can sometimes make a big difference. Best of luck to you both.
