If a parent provides intellectual engagement in an interesting way for their children with dyslexia, they will encourage their joy in learning.
The ability to study effectively is an essential skill for children with dyslexia. Although it may be challenging for you to craft, with the right plan, your child can gain confidence, develop better academic skills, and succeed in school.
These 5 reasons show why it is important to create an effective study plan for your dyslexic child:
- Organization – Having a good plan helps your child stay organized and focused on tasks. This provides structure and guidance and reduces the feeling of being overwhelmed by too much information.
- Time Management – Establishing a routine with set times for study and breaks allows your child to keep track of their progress and make sure they don’t fall behind schedule. It also helps them develop positive study habits.
- Motivation – Achieving small goals one at a time helps keep your child motivated as they work through their studies. Breaking down bigger tasks into smaller chunks also creates a more enjoyable learning experience.
- Accountability – An effective study plan holds your child accountable so they’re less inclined to procrastinate or put off important tasks until later. It’s also easier to ask for help when needed if there is an established plan in place that both you and your child understand and agree on together.
- Reflection – Keeping track of what works best helps as your child goes through different courses or topics within a subject and makes it easier to incorporate successful strategies into future study plans. In addition, reflecting on what didn’t work quite as well helps you to adjust your plan, so better results can be achieved next time around.
Creating an effective study plan tailored specifically to the needs of your dyslexic child can greatly improve the academic results they achieve, while reducing stress levels throughout the entire process! This leads to improved self-esteem, which is a precursor to learning success.
These are helpful educational tips for children with dyslexia. Thank you for sharing.
You’re welcome, Danwil. They also work for children who are typical learners.
I enjoy reading your tips for dyslexic children Florence. However I also find many of them work great for young children to help keep them on schedule.
Yes, Martha. And when all parents follow these strategies and techniques, their children don’t develop learning difficulties.
Once again, wonderful tips for all parents, particularly parents of dyslexic students who could have trouble with organization and self regulating skills. Many of the parents of students I tutored were shocked when I suggested some of our time should be spent of these things, organization, motivation and time management. They just wanted me to tutor on reading or math. When I was able to incorporate a plan, the student was more successful!
Yes, Cheryl, it’s a pity so many parents just focus on the academic subject and neglect the foundational skills that make learning those subjects easier.
