Why Students with Dyslexia Struggle with Reading

Students with dyslexia often struggle with reading because they have a hard time:

  • recognizing words
  • connecting letters to sounds
  • understanding sentences
  • getting fluent without making mistakes

Before this causes a drop in confidence and frustration, it’s important to address it. Online reading tutors can help.

Dyslexia Reading Learning Approach

Discover reading strengths and weaknesses

Before starting classes, we’ll assess your child’s phonemic awareness, decoding skills, sound-symbol correspondence knowledge, and language processing skills. This will allow us to identify their strengths and weaknesses. We’ll then match your child with a suitable reading tutor dealing with dyslexia.

Get a focused learning plan

Tutoring for dyslexia aims to build spelling and encoding skills, fluency, and confidence. That said, each child has different learning preferences and needs. This is the reason why we create personalized learning plans to fit your goals.

Start 1:1 lessons with visual tools

Our classes use diagrams, an online whiteboard, and step-by-step proofs. This multisensory approach particularly helps students with dyslexia, who struggle with recognizing patterns. Dyslexia tutoring at Brighterly combines tools with personalized teaching.

Prepare for tests and homework

Our tutors for kids with dyslexia regularly prepare practice exercises covering reading, spelling, and comprehension. These can be tailored to what children are learning at school. This way, it’s easier to keep up with tests and homework.

Track progress with regular reports

You’ll have a clear view of how your child is progressing over time. Every week, you’ll receive reports on the skills and topics covered. Tutors also give tips on the types of exercises to do at home.

What Kids Will Improve with a Dyslexia Reading Tutor

Tutors personalize classes based on the learners’ needs, whether they’re looking to build reading comprehension skills, get support for their homeschool reading program, or improve their skills through online writing classes.

🚀

Decoding and phonics skills

Phonics is all about connecting letters with sounds. Tutors break down rules into simpler steps and offer struggling readers support. Over time, students understand sound-symbol correspondence and recognize letters more easily.

🫶

Reading fluency development

Fluency is one of the biggest struggles of learners with dyslexia. Tutors offer guided reading practice, aiming to help them read more smoothly. Learners receive regular constructive feedback.

Reading comprehension and memory

Tutors teach reading comprehension strategies. These include guided questions, summaries, and note-taking. As a result, students better understand what they read.

😎

Reduced reading anxiety

Children with dyslexia often experience reading anxiety and frustration. Private reading dyslexia tutors help reduce this anxiety by creating a supportive environment. When children feel supported, they’re naturally less anxious.

💡

Stronger spelling and writing skills

Through targeted exercises, students practice spelling and writing. Combined with reading comprehension, spelling makes them better at writing. Over time, they’re able to express their thoughts correctly in written form.

🎯

Confidence

As skills improve, so does confidence. Tutors provide regular feedback throughout the classes. This way, students see they’re on the right track and their confidence increases.

👩‍🏫

Better homework performance

Tutors offer homework help, which makes assignments manageable. Students build stronger academic habits and feel less overwhelmed. This is a big advantage for parents, as it reduces homework battles at home.

😌

Test preparation

If your child has a test coming up, let their tutor know. They’ll be happy to help with practice questions. Your child will walk away feeling more ready and less stressed.
