I would highly recommend purchasing the book Right Side of Normal for all kinds of ideas and encouraging about how to teach our blessings. Another book that was a tremendous help to me is The Dyslexic Advantage. I actually plan to review it soon.

Like you, I have two boys--6 and 10 months. The 6yo is in first grade and really struggling at his charter school (we're also DC residents, Ward 7).

Mali and Laylah demonstrated early on different learning styles and for ther our homeschooling journey to be meaningful we will have to learn and understand both. I continued to be inspired by your journey. Being full time workers the homeschool experience is difficult, but we are both committed. We are still beginners but happy in the decision we made Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02012733671272267596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5921901052575291732.post-77257099830050759842015-03-26T08:12:43.180-04:002015-03-26T08:12:43.180-04:00Thank you so much for your comments.

In the beginning, I compared his learning timeline to my older son. That's all I knew. When I look back to when he was 4 and 5 years old, he exhibited classic Right Brain learning characteristics.

We do minimal "paperwork" and a TON of ands on learning. I also learned this year that when my kids who have dyslexia WANT to learn something, they will. :) They will even read. LOL.

I recently discovered and read this book too after struggling with my son's lack of attention to detail, missing arithmetic facts but understanding the concepts so easily, difficulty with simple spelling and grammar, yet he can memorize tons of songs in the guitar without reading a note of music.
