Every state in the US requires some level of evidence-based support for any curriculum used in our schools. In some ways, this makes a lot of sense. We want our schools to use what has been proven to work. But there is a challenge. How do we explore new methods that might be better than what we have done, and studied, before?

## [A New Strategy to Support Dyslexic Reading](https://blog.tinyivy.com/blog/a-new-strategy-to-support-dyslexic-reading)

When a child has dyslexia, reading is painful. Slow. Halting.

It's a biological problem, rooted deeply in how the brain works to process what we see into what we say. It is also common.

Dyslexics are the [largest single group](https://www.cde.state.co.us/coloradoliteracy/dyslexiapresentationpdf) of students in special education, by some estimates up to [17% of students](http://dyslexiahelp.umich.edu/dyslexics/learn-about-dyslexia/what-is-dyslexia/debunking-common-myths-about-dyslexia#:~:text=Fact%3A%20In%20the%20United%20States,difficulties%20in%20elementary%20school%20children). And sadly, for 70% of students, you don't outgrow it, despite all the interventions we try. Dyslexia, for most, is a lifelong, chronic disability.

[literacy](https://blog.tinyivy.com/blog/topic/literacy) [early childhood education](https://blog.tinyivy.com/blog/topic/early-childhood-education) [The TIPS™ System](https://blog.tinyivy.com/blog/topic/the-tips-system) [learning to read](https://blog.tinyivy.com/blog/topic/learning-to-read)

Whatever your motivation, the goal is the same: your child needs to learn phonics to become an amazing reader.

Maybe they are three years old and just getting started with letters and sounds, or maybe they are six and you want to make sure they don't fall behind even though "learning" is [now virtual for your school](https://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2020/06/03/most-educators-want-schools-to-stay-closed.html). 

However, the best phonics program for kindergarten might not be what you think.
