According to LD online, dyslexia affects up to 20 percent of all children to some extent.
Children with dyslexia need daily remediation in spelling and reading for several years to overcome deficits resulting from the disorder.
Public school systems may not have the personnel or training to provide adequate instruction to dyslexic children. Therefore, homeschooling may be preferable in some cases.
The decision to homeschool a child with dyslexia should be taken very seriously. A parent who decides to homeschool should be prepared to conduct lots of research and to invest a great deal of time in learning how to teach his child.
Children with dyslexia require multisensory reading programs. Research-based programs include the Orton-Gillingham program, the Susan Barton program and the Davis program.
