About this listen
Does your child reverse letters and numbers, struggle to read aloud, forget how to spell simple words—or have a hard time memorizing their times tables? Do they seem bright but often frustrated by schoolwork? These could be signs of dyslexia or dysgraphia, which are often present alongside ADHD, making it even harder for kids to focus, retain information, and feel confident in the classroom.
In this episode, I talk with Maggie Pike, a literacy and dyslexia specialist with over 20 years of experience supporting kids with learning differences. We’ll explore:
- What dyslexia really is—and how to spot it in preschool and elementary-aged kids
- The root causes of literacy struggles
- Why kids with dyslexia may also struggle with math, memorization and fine motor skills
- Practical ways to build strong pre-reading skills at home
- The surprising gifts and strengths of neurodivergent learners
If your child is struggling in school and you’re not sure why, this episode will help you connect the dots—and move forward with clarity and confidence.
