Helping your child with dyslexia whilst Home Educating

If your child has come out of school feeling like they cannot do anything, this guide is for you.

Written in plain English, like advice from a friend who really gets it, this is a practical, reassuring guide for parents home educating a dyslexic child. No jargon. No teaching experience needed. Just honest, useful information that helps you start making a difference today.

What is inside:

A dyslexia diagnosis means your child is clever. This guide explains why, and what to do with that.

You will find out how to rebuild confidence after a rough time at school, which free tech tools make reading and writing easier, which fonts and background colours actually help, why audiobooks count as real reading, how to make maths less stressful, and what your child is entitled to in exams (including how to get extra time without a full diagnosis).

There is also an honest look at whether you need a formal diagnosis right now, what it costs, and when it actually matters.

This guide is for you if:

• Your child has left school carrying the belief that they cannot do it
• You are not sure where to start with home education
• You want practical help, not textbook theory
• You may be dyslexic yourself and want something easy to read
