Dyslexia therapy can change your brain! 🧠

Many children learn the alphabet by singing the ABC song… but that doesn’t actually prepare them to read.

The alphabet song helps children memorize a sequence, but it often causes confusion when identifying individual letters. For example, “LMNOP” can sound like one word instead of five separate letters.

At Leaping Literacy Dyslexia Therapy, we teach students to say letter names clearly and intentionally…not sing them.

Then we go a step further.

Students tap and say the sounds of letters because:
It builds a direct connection between the letter and its sound
It engages multiple pathways in the brain (visual, auditory, and movement)
It supports accurate decoding and spelling
It strengthens phonemic awareness

We want students to move beyond memorizing the alphabet…to actually using it to read and spell with confidence.

The International Dyslexia Association (IDA) affirmed today that dyslexia, a reading disability, is entirely unrelated to a person's intelligence or cognitive potential.

The International Dyslexia Association (IDA) affirmed today that dyslexia, a reading disability, is entirely unrelated to a person's intelligence or cognitive potential. Dyslexic individuals possess the capacity to think, lead, and achieve at the highest levels, and countless have gone on to accomplish extraordinary achievements across every field.

IDA stands firmly in support of dyslexic learners by advancing evidence-based reading instruction grounded in the science of reading, while also championing the unique strengths, resilience, and potential that define this community.

✨ Does the sound come at the beginning, middle, or end? That question changes everything for a struggling reader.
At Leaping Literacy Dyslexia Therapy, we explicitly teach students to listen for where a sound lives in a word.

Sound awareness is not automatic for students with dyslexia. It must be taught directly, practiced intentionally, and connected to print. When a child can hear and label beginning, middle, and ending sounds, we’re building the foundation for fluent reading and strong comprehension.

Example: map - mop
Which sound changed and where is it located?

When students can identify sound position:
🔹 They strengthen phonemic awareness
🔹 They improve spelling accuracy
🔹 They decode unfamiliar words with confidence
🔹 They stop guessing and start reading with purpose

Small skill. Big impact. 💛

Strong foundations build confident readers ✨

Learning to alphabetize with an alphabet arc might look simple, but it’s a powerful, brain-building skill!
When students place letters and word cards in order, they’re strengthening:

🔤 letter recognition
🧠 sequencing skills
👀 visual scanning
📚 dictionary & reference skills
🗂️ organization of information

For students with dyslexia, these foundational skills are especially important. Alphabet arcs provide hands-on, multisensory practice that helps anchor letter order and reduces cognitive load so their brains can focus on reading and spelling, not just remembering “what comes next.”

Plus… it feels like a game, not work. And that’s where the magic happens 💛

This is the kind of explicit, structured practice we love using at Leaping Literacy Dyslexia Therapy. It is building skills step by step so students grow with confidence.
