Starting yesterday we up how many times minutes a Day our daughter reads for. Her teacher wants her reading 20 minutes a day to help her reach that 2 reading levels up. She reads at a K level be we want her to get up to a level 2 which is a second grade level. She struggles with reading and writing since she has dyslexia. She works really hard at school form what her teachers tell me. She reads a lot at home which I never tell the kids to stop doing unless it’s gettknf really late and they need to go to sleep.
I hope we can keep it up. I’m starting a reading log so we don’t end up reading the same book every night.

@ShyBear88 Dyslexia may be a challenge, but like you said, at least you can work with it. at least she loves to read, and i'm sure that that will help.

@dodo19 oh yes! I hated reading still do but I have a different learning disability that’s not as common as my daughters. I’m in a dyslexic group so I can lear about t more as well as different ways to help her. She is real strong in math.

Dyslexia is a challenge in itself but we will work with it. She reads a lot which is a good thing.

After you told us what she had I understand why you have her read a lot. Does it help her?

More or less yes. It helps with the brain and recognition over long periods of time. She has a small issue with memory but it has more to do with her eyes and brain flipping letters. With lots of practices and reinforcement her brain starts to remember what it’s supposed to be. Sounds are difficult to specially since in English we have a lot of silence letters and blended sounds.
She lost last year her love to read and I pushed her school and made a statement that go them in gut. That I could physically see that she knew she could do it and it was breaking her and I didn’t want that for her I want her to believe in self and that it won’t stop her we just need the right tools. Hear that coming from some that was in the system they knew I would push back hard if I didn’t like they answers.

We have been reading to all 3 of kids since they where babies. Reading to your kids daily doesn’t help if they have a learning disability, that has to do with finding ways to help the Brian learn what they can not learn like everyone else can. The mirror in her head flips things so it makes it hard for her eyes and Brian to communicate with one another.

She reads 10 minutes before. She had to read 2 to 3 books a night even on the weekends and stuff.
