For parents of children with dyslexia, the challenge of teaching reading can feel overwhelming.
Dyslexia affects a child’s ability to recognize letters, decode sounds, and develop the fluency needed for reading success.
Fortunately, research shows that children with dyslexia can thrive
when taught using structured literacy methods rooted in the science of reading.
The science of reading emphasizes that reading is not an automatic process. Unlike learning to speak, which happens naturally, reading requires explicit instruction. This involves teaching children the relationship between letters and sounds (phonics) and how these sounds combine to form words. When this method is applied, children with dyslexia can make significant progress in their reading abilities.
Children with dyslexia benefit most from structured literacy programs that follow the science of reading. Unlike traditional approaches that may rely on memorizing sight words, programs like The Reading Adventures of CeCe and the Super Six teach children to decode the vast majority of English words using phonics. This method is especially effective for children with dyslexia, as it provides a logical and systematic way to understand the structure of words.
By incorporating tools like CeCe’s Magical Map, these programs offer children a visual and interactive approach to learning how to read. Instead of struggling with reading, children can use the cognitive map as a guide to decode words, understand letter-sound relationships, and eventually read fluently.
