Tips on How to Minimize the Effects of Dyslexia in Your Child

In his newest book, The Marvelous Learning Animal, Arthur W. Staats shares his findings on what can parents do to minimize their chances of having a dyslexic child.

  • Generate first language development. Continue to develop the language development of the child by constantly naming the activities and experiences that are being experienced.
  • Create a relationship of doing things together. In play and other activities, such as coloring in books, using toys, and having the child help in such things as simple chores.
  • When the child has developed good language for a two or three year old, introduce what Staats calls the “reading game” as directed below.

Sierra’s Journey: Part One

 

When Sierra was only 9 months old she said her first coherent word.  She has never stopped talking since.  She has an enormous vocabulary.  I knew she had a genius hiding inside her tiny body.  Always bold, unafraid and still never gives up on anything, a true perfectionist.  I should have paid more attention to the question she answered with her first word but I was too shocked that she answered me.  We had just completed viewing and reading story books.  Sierra appeared disinterested.  I asked, “Don’t you want to read anymore?”  Sierra answered emphatically “NO”.
