Encourage discovery with questions like, “What do you notice?” or “What do you think will happen next?”

October is Dyslexia Awareness Month.

Dyslexia can affect reading, spelling, and decoding, but it does not define a child’s intelligence or potential. With the right support, children can become confident learners.

You ask a question. Your child pauses. Do you wait, repeat it, or ask another?

That silence may be thinking time. Understanding a question, finding the right words, and organizing an answer can take a little longer for some children. Adding more questions may make that process harder.

Our newest blog explores how a simple pause, clearer questions, and supportive choices can make conversations feel easier.
