Failing First Grade: Smart Children Struggling with Learning Differences

Madeline Hoge

Why is my smart first grader struggling in school?  Learn about Dyslexia and how it can be identified as early as preschool.

<p>One in five children have dyslexia.  As a parent with 30 years of experience raising two dyslexic boys, I want to bring awareness about this learning style difference to other parents and teachers.  We will discuss some of the first signs of dyslexia through real life examples and funny stories.  Dyslexia isn’t just about letter reversal.  Words can seem like they are jumping all over the page, but kids don’t know what is wrong. They develop poor self-esteem and become depressed or disruptive.  We show you the common signs in preschool, kindergarten and grade school.  We discuss why it is critical to find out early and what can be done about it.  We offer learning tips and helpful accommodations as well as what kind of emotional support might be necessary.  We consider it a special gift, a SUPERPOWER.  Join the discussion to bring awareness because every kid deserves the right to read.</p>
