Hi,
We have a daughter with dyslexia, and she struggles to retain information for more than a week. This causes her to do poorly in spelling, maths, and basically all subjects. Through research, we realised that children with learning difficulties often need time, patience, and the opportunity to go through the same story again and again until the words finally sink in.
Thankfully, we discovered that reading books really helps her. But the challenge was that she needed us to read the same storybook over and over, many, many times. Sometimes until we were completely drained.
Then we came across OtterCanRead. If you search for their website on Google, you can read that the founder’s daughter also has learning difficulties, and that’s why he created this web app. It’s filled with storybooks designed for repetition-based learning.
In the web app, your child can revisit books endlessly and slowly build vocabulary at their own pace — without needing constant parental help. Isn’t that a godsend?
Now, our daughter has improved so much that she is being recognised for her leadership. She went into the best class of her primary school. Still, she struggles with her math, but our effort is getting lesser by the year. For her spelling, we used to give her spelling daily, til now, once weekly. Sometimes she can handle school's spelling totally without us.
We believe the long term building on reading and repetition learning do helps.
Do give it a try — it’s free to use. I hope it brings your child the same small victories and slowly builds their confidence.
Just search OtterCanRead on Google.
Cheers,
Jas
