4 Great Educational Dyslexia Tools
When we first learned that our son had Dyslexia, we honestly didn’t know where to start. How would this affect his learning? What kind of educational dyslexia tools should we be sure he had?
Teaching a child with Dyslexia can be challenging because their brain processes information differently from many of us… but children with Dyslexia can learn.
We just have to be willing to change how we approach learning, which is why I’m a fan of these four great educational dyslexia tools.
You can use them at home as part of your homeschooling, additional help for after school and even in the classroom! This post contains affiliate links.

4 Great Educational Dyslexia Tools for Kids
Play Telephone!
Hello? Auditory feedback WHAT?
This fun phone seems like a toy but it’s secretly helping with auditory feedback – something dyslexic learners have a bit more trouble with than their peers.
Designed by a teacher to help with comprehension, reading, and fluency, this phone is great for stuttering, autism, ADP as well as dyslexia.
Fluency For the Win!
Reading fluency can be particular challenge for dyslexic learners.
This fluency practice packet includes 7 themes and 44 weekly fluency practice cards to help children master both comprehension and fluency.
A great tool for after school, or in your homeschool. Plus, it’s adorable.
Minecraft Themed Homeschooling (yes please)
Since dyslexia can affect math reasoning, writing, handwriting, sequencing, and socialization, it’s important to tailor all types of learning. Or at least be aware!
I really like this program for homeschoolers – just as good for moms that are supplementing classwork.
Why? Because Minecraft is HUGE. And this “Fun-Schooling” program is really fun – kids get to move around and be active in the lesson.
It also uses the Dyslexie Font to make reading and learning easier for dyslexic learners.
Who’s it for? Kids with a 2nd grade reading level.

My older daughter has had dyslexia. It’s never stopped her from working hard or reaching goals. Great resources. She was a ballet dancer until an injury. She got her cosmetology license ( You can get assistance for reading questions aloud ) She passed all the technical and paper /state testing and has become very good in her profession. She works in the hair/wedding & magazine styling hair & makeup. Thanks for sharing at the InspirationSpotlight party @DearCreatives. Shared.
It’s so reassuring to hear that other kids have gotten through Dyslexia and moved on to be okay. Thank you!
