Children with Dyslexia Often Feel Frustrated and Discouraged
For many children with dyslexia or other reading challenges, school can feel like an uphill battle. Keeping up with classmates during reading or writing assignments may feel impossible, and the thought of reading aloud in class can bring on real anxiety. Kids often worry about being judged or embarrassed, which can chip away at their confidence and love of learning. Beyond academics, they may struggle with following written directions, staying organized, or putting their thoughts on paper. Over time, these daily frustrations don’t just affect grades—they can also impact self-esteem and motivation, leaving kids feeling overwhelmed and discouraged.
“Dyslexia is a different brain organization that needs different teaching methods. It is never the fault of a child but rather the responsibility of us who teach to find methods that work for that child” – Dr. Maryanne Wolf
