Dyslexia from a Mom’s Perspective.
Today on The Modern Homeschool Podcast, I am answering a listeners questions on where to start if you think your child may be dyslexic. Every child’s journey with dyslexia is different and knowing how and where to start understanding is the beginning. I share how I knew my daughter was dyslexic and how we have been addressing her dyslexia over the past five years.
