Stop Teaching Phonics RULES to Dyslexic Kids (Do This Instead)

Phonics rules don’t work for many dyslexic readers. In this video, I explain why dyslexia and phonics rules don’t mix, what works better instead, and provide FREE PRINTABLE wordlists. Parents are often told to teach rules like silent e, magic e, and two vowels go walking. But dyslexic children struggle because these rules overload working memory and don’t transfer to real reading.

In this video, you’ll learn: • Why dyslexic readers don’t generalize phonics rules • Why rule-based phonics increases confusion and guessing • What dyslexic readers need to improve accuracy and fluency • How structured word lists outperform phonics rules Keith Deltano stayed back in third grade because he could not read. He has dyslexia, ADHD, and auditory processing disorder. He went on to become an award winning teacher and built a remedial reading course (https://www.nofearreading.com/) as unlike the boring, redundant courses he went through as possible. Your child will learn to decode, read fluently, and comprehend what they are reading. They will even learn strategies they will use to pass the EOGs (End of Grade tests.) Dyslexia is a learning difference that affects how the brain processes written language, making reading, spelling, and writing more difficult. It is not a problem with intelligence, but rather how the brain recognizes and organizes sounds and letters. Children with dyslexia often need specialized teaching methods that focus on phonics, multi-sensory instruction, and step-by-step reading support. With the right approach, dyslexic students can learn to read and succeed in school. 00:00 Phonics Rules and Dyslexia 01:30 What to do Instead 03:26 Highlight Letters That Make the Sound 04:07 Exaggerate Phonics Sounds - Not Rules
