Can individuals who are dyslexic learn to read?
Yes, if children with dyslexia receive effective reading instruction in Kindergarten and 1st grade, they will have significantly fewer problems learning to read at grade level than do children who are not identified or helped until 3rd grade. 74% of the children who are poor readers in 3rd grade remain poor readers in the 9th grade. Often they continue to struggle with reading as adults. It is never too late for individuals with dyslexia to learn to read, process and express information more efficiently. Research shows that programs utilizing multisensory structured language techniques can help children and adults learn to read.
