October Spotlight: Understanding Dyslexia 🧠 💡

October is Dyslexia Awareness Month! Dyslexia can make reading tricky, as it affects how children connect sounds to letters and words. Our book, Why Isn't Nika Playing? helps children understand what it's like for children with dyslexia—and how to support them.

Smart Kidz Club makes reading easier and more enjoyable for kids with dyslexia:

●	Read-aloud books let children learn even when decoding is hard.
●	Audio with visuals and word highlighting strengthens connections between letters, sounds, and meaning.
●	Repeatable audio boosts retention and confidence.
●	Minimal distractions keep focus on the text.
●	Sight word flashcards and decodable books help children progress at their own level.

With consistent practice and repeated reading, children can improve word recognition, fluency, and overall confidence in reading.
