What Should I Discuss in a Monthly One-on-One Call with My Child’s Reading Instructor?

A Guide to Help Parents Get the Most from Our Dyslexia Resources

When you and your child take the Dyslexia 101 Reading Assessment and start 100% virtual instruction with our expert reading instructors, you’re already on the right path to help your child grow as a reader.

You’re also entitled to additional dyslexia resources for parents that will make a difference for your child. Our instructors are available for a monthly one-on-one call to discuss your child’s progress.

Take advantage of these sessions, as you don’t want to leave anything to chance. You know the importance of being an active parent and keeping tabs on how your child is progressing. The last thing you want is to miss out on information that could potentially negatively affect your child’s progress.

However, like many parents, you may find it is difficult to know the right questions to ask, so you can receive every last benefit from our program and do everything you can for your child. After all, your child’s ability to become a successful reader is at stake.

Parents can use the following resource to monitor their child’s progress as they learn to read with resources from Dyslexia 101’s evidence-based program.

Questions to Ask During Monthly One-on-One Appointments

Our highly knowledgeable reading instructors will anticipate your needs by providing insights and vital information during one-on-one calls. Much like during a parent-teacher conference at school, the instructor typically initiates the conversation. We go above and beyond the basic dyslexia therapy resources you’ve seen online by providing authentic, meaningful discussions with parents.

Ahead of your call with your child’s instructor, prepare questions to ask. Consider the following questions to help guide a robust discussion with your Dyslexia 101 instructor.

General questions:

  • What are your general impressions of how my child is doing?
  • After working with my child for a month, what are the biggest challenges they face?
  • What successes have you seen in the past month?

Questions about our dyslexia resources:

  • What strategies are you currently emphasizing?
  • Why did you choose these strategies in particular?
  • What are these strategies meant to accomplish?
  • What’s coming up this month during my child’s instructional time?

Questions to better understand your child:

  • What does my child seem to respond to best?
  • Are there certain areas where my child seems “closed off”?
  • How would you characterize my child’s learning style?
  • What could my child improve upon?

Questions about ways you can help at home:

  • What can I do to reinforce skills when we’re reading together at bedtime?
  • Is there anything else we can be doing as parents to support your curriculum and my child’s progress?
  • Is there anything else that you need to know about my child that would be helpful during upcoming sessions?
  • Is our technology for these virtual sessions working appropriately?

  • Are there particular insights that you think I should share with my child’s teacher at school?

It has long been established that student achievement is undoubtedly linked to the role a family plays in their child’s education. By keeping these questions in your back pocket and asking them as needed, you are taking the profound actions of an engaged, caring parent.
The way you approach our dyslexia reading resources will have a positive impact on your child’s growth and development. You want to see your child succeed. You don’t want your child to experience a long-term struggle with dyslexia and the outcomes that come with these challenges.
