Thanks for sharing your experience! Yes, I’ve since learned that there are specialized fonts for children with dyslexia, so that definitely could be a help for some kids. TG&TB wasn’t around back when we were trying things, so it’s good to hear of another possible option for families. Again – thanks for the helpful comment!

Been homeschooling multiple dyslexic kids for years. One did well with Barton for reading and spelling. With another child we tried All About Reading and found that he’d get headaches with it. It was a slow and painful go for him. Must be the font or something that was hard on his brain (I have no doubt it works well for many kids) We then tried the new Good and the Beautiful LA curriculm and he’s taking off with reading (FREE download of entire curriculm so only cost to try it is the lessons you print). Point of the story if one thing fails try, try again until you find what works! It’s an adventure and no two kids are the same!

In reply to CS. So glad it was helpful!! Yes - AAS & AAR seem to be a great fit for so many kids. I was sorry it took us so long to make the switch.

This fits my child exactly. I keep hearing about “All About Spelling” and “All About Reading”. It sounds like I need to make that my next curriculum choice. This is a very helpful article.
