Parent Handbook
The Parent Handbook was created to help families understand dyslexia and learn how to support children at home and at school. It’s designed to be practical, easy to navigate, and grounded in current research. The handbook includes:
- Dyslexia basics and identification – what dyslexia is, early signs, myths, and how screening and assessment work
- Instruction and intervention – what effective reading instruction looks like, how to plan and monitor interventions, and the role of accommodations
- Supporting your child – building confidence, fostering self-esteem, and understanding your child’s rights in education
The handbook is available in print or digitally. To access your free copy, please complete the short form below. As a national charity, Dyslexia Canada is committed to ensuring every child in Canada learns to read. Collecting a few details helps us understand how our resources are being used and show donors the impact of their support. If the handbook is updated, we’ll email you the latest version so you always have access to the most current information.
There’s also an optional donation space in the form; if you’re able, your contribution helps us continue creating and sharing free, evidence-based resources for families and educators across Canada.
