Why: Your child’s classmates may be familiar with his learning differences, but friends from outside school probably aren’t. Let your child know you’ll help him figure out how to discuss his dyslexia—if and when he wants to.


What to say: “It’s up to you whether you want to talk about your dyslexia with people. If you don’t feel comfortable getting into a deeper discussion with someone, you can always say, ‘It’s not that I can’t learn to read. I just need to learn in a very different way.’”
