What is Dyslexia?

In Kivato Dyslexia Tutoring Dallas, we know what it takes to help students with Dyslexia. As defined by Webster, dyslexia is ‘a disturbance of the ability to read.’ Dyslexia causes difficulties with: reading, identifying speech, and decoding words (how letters and words relate). Dyslexia is a learning disability affecting how the brain processes language, and sufferers exhibit a lack of coordination between sight and sound. Parents are not always sure if their kid has dyslexia, so it is important to understand how to address its symptoms. 

To effectively help dyslexic students become better learners, Kivato Dallas Dyslexia Tutors use the Blue Book Method. With the Blue Book method, our Dallas Dyslexia tutors encourage students to identify phonetics of the letters of spoken words. for example, ‘c’ sounds like ‘ka’ in ‘cat’, or “c” sounds like ‘s’ and then ‘ka’ while using the ‘c’ in ‘cycle’, and ‘c’ combined with ‘h’ it gives a ‘cha’ sound in ‘change’. Our Dallas Dyslexia tutors draw the student’s focus towards the phonetics to help them understand how to spell words. Our Kivato tutors practice reading and writing in a rhythmic pattern and give an assignment about practicing and writing by memory. Handwriting skills are developed and are incorporated into language practice. In Kivato Dyslexia tutoring Dallas, we ensure the practice is continued at home with homework assignments. This dedicated approach demonstrates to give clear and tangible results.

Dyslexia is Inherited, Just like Having Blue or Brown Eyes

Individuals inherit dyslexia just like inheriting blue or brown eyes. Dyslexia may manifest only in certain instances, but those who carry the genes can still pass it on. Most people with dyslexia have at least one family member with learning and reading difficulties. 

Say Yes to Writing!

Motor deficits along developmental disorders evidence a poor motor performance across several activities. Neural networking theory says that motor function breakdown can occur during a specific stage of motor execution. For example, some students are confident in reading but not in writing, maybe excellent in speaking but not as proficient in writing or in using their motor abilities. If your child experiences difficulty in producing legible handwriting or spelling correctly; your child can have dysgraphia. Dysgraphia affects the ability to write coherently regardless of their ability to read, and can lead to other problems with spelling, organization, and maintaining word order.

Some other unusual symptoms of dysgraphia include leaning body posture to one side, lying across the desk or altering posture as they write across the page, getting away with writing as little as possible, and being more comfortable with producing the same amount of content on a computer rather than by hand.
