Parents watching a dyslexic child shut down at the sight of a book don’t need another cliché—they need a plan. In this Inner Peace, Better Health episode, dyslexia specialist Russell Van Brocklen breaks down what actually happens in the brain, why Orton-Gillingham/structured literacy works, and how to rekindle motivation using a child’s speciality(deep interest) with audiobook + print pairing. We connect science and spirituality—calm, focus, and resilience practices—so families can restore confidence and reading fluency without guesswork. If you’re searching for actionable dyslexia help, reading interventions, and mindset tools that respect your child’s spirit, this conversation is the starting line.

Russell Van Brocklen (known as “The Dyslexia Professor”) teaches parents how to translate evidence-based literacy methods into simple, repeatable at-home steps that rebuild confidence and skills fast. His programs center on Orton-Gillingham-aligned, multisensory, structured language instruction—paired with interest-driven materials to keep kids engaged.

• Start with brain truth, not myths: Dyslexia is a language-processing difference; use structured literacy (Orton-Gillingham style), not “balanced literacy” shortcuts.

• Engagement is the ignition: Identify your child’s speciality (what they’d do on a free Saturday). Use that topic to drive audiobook + print reading for momentum.

• Teach specific → general: Prompt with narrow, concrete questions and expand outward. Use short writing outputs to organize thinking and make progress visible.

• Audiobook + book pairing works: Choose slightly below current level to win early; level up as fluency and confidence climb.

• 30–45 minutes, 3 days/week: Consistency beats intensity. Track measurable outputs (words read, brief written summaries, discussion notes).

• K–3 window matters: “Learn to read” (K–3) → “read to learn” (4th+). Early action prevents years of frustration and special-ed detours.

• Spiritual tools support the work: Use prayer/meditation/breathing to reduce anxiety, build focus, and keep sessions calm—but pair with structured instruction.

• Talk like a coach, not a critic: Protect self-worth; praise effort, strategy, and persistence, not just scores.

• Model curiosity: Let kids see you read, take notes, and ask questions about their topic of choice.

• Get guidance when stuck: A short consult with a specialist can save months of trial and error and accelerate results.
