Though there are many tips for helping dyslexic students, there are certain cases where adjusting the style of teaching to fit the child's situation or gender actually does make a major difference. In this video, Michael Clark of Dyslexia Improvements wants dads to know that helping girls with dyslexia is actually different than how you might help a boy. 

In particular, girls feel more encouragement with affirmations than boys do. A girl student doesn't typically want a competition, and thus aren’t as concerned with failure. Girls are also less focused on actions and events and more interested on the emotions. As such, it's important for dads recognize that their daughters think somewhat differently, and molding their teaching style to them is imperative.

There are specific brain exercises and games you can do with your child to improve their learning, and we'd love to help you discover them.

"So, good on you dad, or stepdad, or granddad for caring enough about your girl to invest the time with the help to get her back on track with the reading and writing. Just keep in mind that she thinks differently with the way you think. She's a girl, you've never been a girl, and you've gotta go with the way she thinks." - Michael Clark

Key Takeaways:

1
When teaching your kids, girls are more encouraged with prize and affirmations than boys.
2
Don't make things competitive; she wants to cooperate rather than compete with someone.
3
Girls are less worried about failure than boys, and they tend to focus more on the emotional side of the characters rather than events when they are reading.
