Ready, Set, Thrive: Creating a dyslexia-smart home before September

This virtual event is hosted by Dyslexia Decoded BC. Please contact the event organizer with any questions.

A practical, parent-focused workshop with Kathleen Kischer of Dyslexia Decoded BC

Is your child still dreading homework even before the school year begins? A few simple shifts at home can make all the difference. Join us for an interactive session designed for families of dyslexic learners and leave with a clear, actionable plan to launch the new year with confidence.

What we’ll cover

  • Learning-ready spaces: How to carve out a calm, sensory-friendly study zone—even in a busy household.

  • Tools & tech that help (not hinder): Low-cost assistive technology, audiobooks, and multisensory hacks that build independence.

  • Daily routines that stick: Morning-to-evening structures that boost executive-function skills and reduce homework battles.

  • Communication cheat-sheets: Quick scripts to share your child’s strengths and needs with new teachers from day one.

  • School Accommodations: Learning how to narrow down your accommodation list so that they are effective throughout the school year.

  • Confidence-builders: Easy self-advocacy phrases and mindset tips so your child heads to class feeling prepared, not anxious.

Who should attend? Parents, guardians, and caregivers of children in Grades 1-8 who want a calmer, more productive school year—no psycho-ed report required.

Let’s turn summer momentum into year-round success. Reserve your spot today and help your child start September ready to thrive!
