Can The Reading Kingdom work with children diagnosed with dyslexia?
The Reading Kingdom is definitely useful for children diagnosed with dyslexia. The system has been designed to teach a range of skills vital to reading but omitted from other programs. Many of these skills are precisely the ones that children with dyslexia need to develop. For example, the children often have problems with visual memory so that even when they have seen a word many times, they do not recognize it. From the start and in every lesson thereafter, visual memory is a key part of The Reading Kingdom system. Other features of the system address the specific language deficits associated with dyslexia, such as the notable difficulties the children have with the “little” words such as “there, who, of, etc.”. In combination, these aspects of The Reading Kingdom work to steadily build the fund of skills the children need to become fluent readers and writers.
