I homeschooled 2 of my children for 4 years, loving every minute of it. During that time, almost 2 years ago, one of my children was diagnosed with Dyslexia. It was so minor that no one noticed anything until it was almost too late....by the way, it's really never too late. Since that time I have been researching Dyslexia, digging deeper than I thought I knew about the highly inheritable learning disability. Prior to my child being screened for Dyslexia I thought I was failing her, thought the schools had failed her, frustrated and confused as to why nothing was helping her succeed with her spelling, handwriting and more.
I have been receiving on-line instruction through the Barton Reading & Spelling System, an Orton-Gillingham evidence based program.
