By Sarah J. Brown.
Do you feel like you have tried everything, and your child still struggles just to read and write?
I am a homeschooling mother, and I felt the same way when my eight year-old daughter, Anna, couldn’t even tell the difference between the letters “b” and “d”. We had tried everything!
I was losing confidence in my ability to homeschool, and my daughter was beginning to feel like she was “stupid” compared to other kids her age. What really upset her was the fact that her younger sister was reading “real books” and she was left behind.
So we trudged through a mountain of phonics workbooks. We bought learning DVDs. We played online reading games. I tried new curricula, but nothing solved the root problem: symbol confusion.
Dyslexia Mystery Solved
But one day I gave up trying to teach Anna myself and hired a reading tutor. After working with Anna for a while the teacher turned to me and said, “Honey, your little girl has Dyslexia. These typical workbooks are useless.”
At first I felt like there was no hope, and there was something wrong with my child. But soon I realized that I had a very gifted child in my house…who needed serious help.
I was amazed and puzzled by the way Anna, like most dyslexic children, could create detailed works of art and yet still struggle with simple reading tasks. I was determined to find out why such brilliant kids couldn’t learn to read.
I learned everything I could about Dyslexia, including all the current research, available therapies, and brain development options. I looked into Dyslexia Therapy, willing to try anything. I just wanted Anna to learn to read.
Sadly, our family did not have hundreds of dollars to spend. I was determined to help her myself. After much research on dyslexia and time working with my daughter, I began to put together a therapy designed just for her.
That is when Dyslexia Games was born. I was solving a wonderful mystery that would eventually help many children to overcome their struggles with Dyslexia, without the high costs of traditional therapy.
Success
I knew that Anna did not want to “do school”, she was burnt out. She was very happy to draw and play mind games. So I created pages and pages of drawing activities and mind games to trick Anna into learning how to read and write. Anna could finally tell the difference between b’s and d’s! She loved the puzzles and art activities and within days she showed serious improvement. Just a few weeks later she was picking up books and sounding out words with a smile on her face!
Anna discovered the joy of reading and ended up developing beautiful handwriting, too, after just a few months. I could see that Anna had begun using the strongest area of her mind, not the weakest, to learn reading and writing. It was like a new beginning! Now Anna is thriving in EVERY subject in school, but art is still #1.
Anna’s art work now appears in many of the Dyslexia Games Activity Books – especially the books with animal art.
Dyslexia Games is For students ages 5 to adult who:
• Have symptoms of ADHD, Dyslexia, LD, or Asperger’s Syndrome.
• Struggle with grade level reading, writing, and spelling skills.
• Fail to advance or often complain “I don’t get it.”
• Have a weak concept of direction.
• Have messy handwriting.
• Are embarrassed when asked to read aloud.
• Reverse or confuse letters, words or numbers.
• Have concentration problems.
• Are creative students who quickly lose interest in schoolwork.
• Students who can not remember rules of phonics, even after years of trying!
• Dyslexia Games Therapy is easy for kids to use without much help from parents or teachers! It’s FUN!
Check out the wonderful Dyslexia Games website AND Thinking Tree PDF Fun-Schooling Curriculum. I can’t recommend it highly enough!
See Samples
We hope you will use Dyslexia Games (see samples) with your child. Now that Anna has overcome her struggles with symbol confusion and reading frustration, homeschooling is fun again! We hope that your Dyslexic child will also be given the tools to quickly overcome his or her struggles with Dyslexia!
When Sarah discovered the key to correcting the symptoms of Dyslexia she knew she had to share the discovery with the world. Now thousands of children around the globe use Dyslexia Games with a 99% satisfaction rate.
You see, Dyslexic kids would much rather learn through art and games than through phonics and sight words! Over time even children with ADHD and high functioning Autism begin to excel at the games… Sweet SUCCESS!

Thank you so much for this post! After struggling for YEARS with a dyslexic learner, we were introduced to the Thinking Tree books recently. What a difference they are making! I highly recommend these for anyone who has a struggling reader. Of course, prayer is the ultimate game-changer, but I feel the Lord has used these books to make a school-dreading reader begin to truly enjoy learning.
Just wanted to add my “amen!”
Jacqueline
Yay! Hilary, that is marvelous to hear and a wonderful recommendation! Thank you for sharing your experience!
Meghan Nibbelin
We love Sarah’s books – her journals are awesome and have totally changed our homeschool for the better! I found them when researching for my oldest son whom I suspected was mildly dyslexic My kids are thriving now and he has turned into a voracious reader!
Jacqueline
Ahhh! Megan, the story of your son is a breath of fresh air to hear! I do love Sarah’s journals and they are really meeting a need 🙂 Blessings to you all, Mama!
Samantha
If there was one thing I could tell every Homeschool family it would be to start each day with Dyslexia Games. My non Dyslexic children love them as well. Dyslexia games helps their brains wake up and gets them motivated for their day of learning. We also use Thinking Tree Journals and love them! Homeschooling at my house is so much fun since we started using Dyslexia Games and Thinking Tree Journals wish I would have found them years ago.
Jacqueline
It is great to see so many recommendations here on the comments! Thanks, Samantha!
Krystal
In a world that seems to focus on test scores or how advances your child it, it’s wonderful to have something that really works the brain in a fun and gentle way. For the dyslexic child, that brilliant learning of visual discrimination. For the child who has trouble seeing creatively it stretches them to develop outside of the box thinking. ❤
My youngest 2 (5 & 7) are doing Level A as a first language arts & table time activity. Big brother (10) is doing Level B…the way it looks so easy then builds. He has said to me more then once now…”mom I looked ahead at this picture and thought ‘there is now way i will be able to do that’s and mom look! Look how good I did!”
Intsted of therapist telling me I would need to spend hundreds every month or I would be failing my son, Sarah & Dyslexia Games tells us that we are not failing and here is a cost friendly way to help.
Jacqueline
Yes, Krystal! This just confirms all Sarah claims her Dyslexia Games can do! I know many thousands are very, very satisfied and helped! Appreciate the comment!
Amanda
Thank you for sharing this! I’m a former educator of Dyslexic, ADHD, Aspbergers and Special Needs, children. Now I’m a homeschooling Mama to a typical-1st grader. I wish I could have used Dyslexia Games in my classroom, after seeing how much easier Funschooling has made school for my son I can only imagine what it would have been like for my students!
Nancy
My grandson is 14 with severe ADHD. He went to public schools for about eight years before we pulled him out to homeschool. While researching various learning styles and curriculum I ran across The Thinking Tree’s Fun-Schooling journals and we started using them. Inside his Fun-Schooling core journal are sample pages of Dyslexia Games and I noticed that he really enjoyed working on them. I went on their website and found out that these books are good for kids with ADHD and other learning issues, not just ones with dyslexia. He’s been struggling with his fine motor skills as well as reading comprehension, writing, spelling, and focusing on/completing his work, so I bought Series C and started having him do a couple of pages every day before he does his other work. After a couple of weeks, I’ve noticed my grandson seems able to concentrate better and isn’t struggling so much to finish what we give him. His writing skills seems to be improving as well and he’s filling out his journals using complete sentences instead of just a few words. I’m convinced the improvements are due to Dyslexia Games! I love seeing this post about Dyslexia Games!! I highly recommended them and think ANY child would benefit from them!
Jacqueline
Oh, that is so great to hear, Nancy! I will tell Sarah about all these wonderful comments! Thanks!!

You should check out the work of Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, who started out to cure her own autistic child, but eventually realized that what she was dealing with affected a host of other situations (like dyslexia).

My wife (also an RN) recently came across an article saying that skin cancer had been effectively treated with fecal transplants.
Jacqueline
Yes, Harv! I love her work! I have a post on Dr. Natasha’s work on the blog, but that is interesting about her son! Thank you!
Misty
How disappointing. Much like the lady the story is about, i don’t have hundreds of dollars to spend. Unfortunately, the program is hundreds. I understand how much work she put into this but over a hundred for an untried PDF is just out of the budget of folks who are stay at home homeschoolers due to their child’s difficulties.
Jacqueline
Hi, Misty! I hear your heart, mama! Have you thought about using 1 book to see how it helps your child(ren) before ordering the whole program? I see no need to jump in without knowing more first. It has helped so many.
Praying for you! ~J
Christina
There doesn’t seem to be an option to purchase one book at a time?
Jacqueline
Christina, there should be. Go to their site and call them if you can’t find a way…I am sure you can, friend!
