Two Small Changes for Helping Children with Dyslexia: Reading and Spelling StrategiesIn this episode of Days with Dyslexia, speech-language pathologist Michelle Morgan shares two simple, science-backed strategies parents can use at home to strengthen reading and spelling for children with dyslexia, dysgraphia, or ADHD. The first strategy focuses on teaching 'smooth and stretchy speech' to help children sound out words more naturally and ease the strain on their working memory. The second strategy involves saying the sounds of letters as children write them, building stronger connections between letters and sounds in the brain. Michelle emphasizes the importance of these techniques for developing strong literacy skills and provides practical guidance for parents on how to implement them at home.00:00 Introduction to Days with Dyslexia00:54 The Importance of Building Strong Connections01:53 Smooth and Stretchy Speech for Reading03:01 Addressing Common Reading Challenges08:14 Making Writing Easier with Sound Connections12:42 Practical Tips and Encouragement16:40 Conclusion and Next Steps
