It's tempting to encourage our dyslexic kids to keep working on their literacy skills over the summer, but they often need the break! In this video, we break down (pun intended) the reasons why they need breaks, the scientific evidence that breaks are ok, and give you some tips for a great summer.
We're Sonja and Nick — parents of a dyslexic kid and your guides on this journey. We created Dyslexia Journey because we know how isolating it can feel when your child struggles with reading and school isn't helping. Every episode brings practical strategies, expert interviews with psychologists, educators, and reading specialists, plus real stories from dyslexic adults who've thrived. Whether you're a parent navigating diagnosis, IEPs, and accommodations, or a dyslexic adult looking for community — this show is for you. Got a question or a guest idea?
