Dyslexia in Kids Is More Common Than You’d Think

Discover the Dyslexia 101 Difference

Based on decades of scientific and academic research, Dyslexia 101 methods help children and adults become competent readers, and your child can complete their reading instruction from the comfort of home, from vacation, and anywhere in between!

We Provide Reading Help for Kids with Dyslexia

Dyslexia 101 takes 30 years of proven dyslexia teaching strategies and implements them online, making dyslexia reading programs available to children all over the country.

Using online screen sharing technology, your child and their Dyslexia 101 instructor are face to face as they learn how to approach reading in a way that makes sense. Best of all, our program accommodates even the busiest family schedules.

The program begins with an online reading assessment that takes between 45 minutes to an hour. During the assessment, we collect data to create a dyslexia rating for your child, from 0 to 100. The higher the score, the more severe the case of dyslexia.

Our Dyslexia 101 instructors use the score, plus a virtual face-to-face assessment of your child, and follow a customized list of dyslexia teaching strategies to help your child build reading skills, regardless of the type of dyslexia your child has.
