Once the child is diagnosed with dyslexia, it is essential to take him to a therapist with whom to treat such a reading and learning disorder. This treatment usually lasts about a year, although depending on the severity of the dyslexia it can be prolonged over time. But such treatment does not only depend on the therapist since the parents have a quite important role in the recovery of the child. Childhood dyslexia can be aggravated if it is not treated on time, so it is essential to go to an expert on the subject at the moment in which the child begins to show a series of common symptoms of dyslexia. For this I am going to give you a series of tips to help you treat a problem as serious as childhood dyslexia.

Daily reading planning

If your child has dyslexia, it is important to spend a few minutes a day reading. In this way the little one will convert reading into a real habit that will help him improve and understand a large number of letters and words. Good daily reading planning will help treat your child's dyslexia as it improves over time. 

Work with difficult words

When it comes to treating a problem like dyslexia, it is advisable to make a weekly list with a series of difficult words for the little one. From there, you have to work with them so that the child becomes familiar with them and knows what they mean. Thanks to this activity, the child will improve significantly in the field of reading.

Read out loud

This is one of the most effective activities when it comes to dealing with a topic like dyslexia. First of all, you must choose a text that the child likes and from there you must read it aloud so that the little one finds out. It is important that your child follow the reading with his eyes and read the odd phrase from the text. With this activity the child becomes familiar with a large number of words in addition to being loose when reading.

Look up word meanings

Before starting to read the text aloud, it is important to let the child observe the passage in question and point out those words that he does not understand. With the help of a dictionary, look up the meaning of such words so that the child becomes familiar with them and it is much easier for him to read such a text aloud.

I hope you have taken good note of all these tips and help your child overcome a reading and learning disorder such as dyslexia. With a good treatment your child will improve over the years.
