Understanding Dyslexia

Dyslexia affects how the brain processes written language, making reading and spelling more difficult than expected, even for bright, capable children.

Many children with dyslexia work incredibly hard but still feel like they’re falling behind, through no fault of their own. Because reading is such a big part of learning, dyslexia can chip away at their confidence and make school feel discouraging.

Instructions might be missed, reading tasks can take longer, and over time, important building blocks in literacy may be left behind. These small struggles can quietly lead to larger gaps, making it harder for children to keep up.

How Kinetic Education Supports Children with Dyslexia

At Kinetic Education, we make reading and writing feel less overwhelming and more achievable. With short, supportive lessons and real tutor guidance, we help turn everyday challenges into small wins that build lasting confidence.

Through our online Maths Wiz and English Wiz platforms, combined with support from our tutors, your child follows a personalised plan tailored to their needs. With structured, interactive support and clear reading strategies, they can build literacy skills in a way that suits them best—and feel proud of their progress.

Difficulty with reading and spelling

What this can look like:

Your child may take longer to sound out words, confuse similar letters, or have trouble recognising words they've seen before. Spelling can feel inconsistent or confusing, even with practice.

How we help:

We use multisensory learning techniques. Lessons include visuals, audio, animations, and interactive tasks. This approach helps engage more of the brain by combining visual, auditory, and physical input at once. Over time, this supports stronger neural connections and better retention of reading and spelling skills. Our lessons are also repeated at carefully spaced intervals so concepts are revisited and moved into long-term memory without pressure.

Avoiding reading or written tasks

What this can look like:

Your child may shy away from books, skip reading aloud, or avoid writing tasks altogether. These experiences can feel frustrating and discouraging.

How we help:

Lessons are short, around 20 minutes, and achievable. They are designed to reduce overwhelm and support early wins. Step-by-step guidance and tutor support help your child feel safe to try and proud when they succeed.

Slow progress with phonics or decoding

What this can look like:

Your child might struggle to match letters with sounds, break words into parts, or decode unfamiliar words. Progress may feel slower than expected.

How we help:

We build phonics skills gradually and consistently. Lessons are personalised based on what your child needs to strengthen. No rushing and no skipping over foundations.

Low confidence with reading and writing

What this can look like:

Your child may believe they’re bad at reading or feel embarrassed when asked to write. They might avoid challenges because they fear getting it wrong.

How we help:

We help rebuild confidence through real rewards and visible progress. Lessons are designed to show growth, not perfection, and every win is celebrated.

Struggles with remembering what they’ve read

What this can look like:

Even after reading something aloud, your child might forget what it was about. They may struggle to retell stories or answer questions about what they’ve just read.

How we help:

We support comprehension using short texts, built-in audio, and simple questions. Visuals and repetition help your child understand and remember what they’ve learned.

Previous support didn’t suit their needs

What this can look like:

Previous support may not have moved at the right pace or didn’t match how your child learns. This can leave them feeling frustrated or disheartened.

How we help:

We personalise every child’s learning plan based on their assessment. With one-on-one tutor support, flexible timing, and lessons that break everything down step-by-step, we help your child access reading and writing in a way that works for them.

Learning that’s personalised to your child’s needs

Every child starts with an online assessment so we can understand where they’re at and how they learn best. From there, we create a personalised learning plan that builds skills gradually, fills gaps, and supports steady progress in Maths and English.

Tools that support how your child learns

Lessons use a mix of visuals, audio, interactive activities, and guided practice to support understanding across Maths and English.

Short lessons that feel achievable

Lessons are short and flexible, taking around 20 minutes, which helps children stay engaged and feel confident. Your child can learn when it suits your family, with the flexibility to learn before school, after dinner, or on weekends.

Tutor support that’s steady and responsive

Whether your child needs a confidence boost, extra explanation, or help when they’re stuck, tutor support is easy to access and tailored to how they learn for up to 10 hours each week.

A focus on confidence, not perfection

We celebrate effort and progress, not just correct answers. As children complete lessons, they earn points and recognition that help build confidence through small, meaningful wins.

Clear weekly updates for families

Each week, you’ll receive a simple progress summary showing what your child has worked on, what’s coming next, and how they’re tracking. It keeps you informed without adding extra pressure.

I cannot recommend Kinetic Learning enough if your kids struggle with Math & English.

My son has been a Kinetic Learner for over a year and the lessons have really helped him as he is Dyslexic. His school teachers have seen a big difference in English so much so that he no longer needs support in reading. My son was not a lover of Math but since starting his journey with Kinetic Learning, he is engaged more and is willing to want to complete his weekly lessons. I cannot recommend Kinetic Learning enough if your kids struggle with Math & English. The support team are fantastic and are constantly in contact to discuss your kids progress and what they can do to help make the lessons manageable.

It has given me peace of mind I’m giving him the support he needs.

Deciding to homeschool my children this year after struggling with my son who has dyslexia and not getting support at school. I have been using kinetic education to help with english and maths and it has given me peace of mind I’m giving him the support he needs. His confidence has improved. I have a happier boy. With our tutor checking in regularly we can see the improvement. So happy we decided to go this way.

My 6yr old has come leaps and bounds with his English, even though he has Dyslexia and Dyspraxia.

Cant recommend Kinetic enough. We homeschool both of our boys and this program has added everything that they need for maths and English. My 6yr old has come leaps and bounds with his English, even though he has Dyslexia and Dyspraxia. The Tutor is awesome, monthly feedback is amazing and the weekly reports go a long way!! Thanks for everything you do Kinetic!

Really helpful for kids with learning difficulties

We started Kinetic in May this year and the progress we have seen is amazing. Our daughter was diagnosed with Dyslexia last year. This made things clearer to us, as she was so far behind in school by 3 year levels. She recently retested and now has solid understanding and is behind only by a small area in her current year level. Showing her these results has boosted her confidence and her drive to try. Thank you.

Common Questions About Our Dyslexia Learning Support

My child struggles with reading. How will this actually help?

We take a personalised, step-by-step approach that focuses on what your child needs most. We start by identifying gaps in your child’s learning, which helps us build their personalised learning plan. Lessons use guided steps and interactive activities to support the way your child processes written language.

Won’t they just get frustrated learning on a screen?

Actually, many children with dyslexia find our learning style less stressful than traditional methods. Lessons are short, around 20 minutes, and include animations, audio prompts, and scaffolded guidance. This makes it easier to stay engaged without becoming overwhelmed.

Is tutor support available?

Yes. Tutors are available to assist when your child is stuck, needs something explained differently, or could use a bit of encouragement. They check in regularly and adjust the learning plan based on your child’s progress.

How are the lessons different from what they get at school?

We don’t expect your child to learn through long blocks of text. Our lessons are interactive; they use images, audio, repetition, and movement to help concepts click. Everything is broken into manageable steps so nothing feels too hard to start or too much to finish.

Will this work if my child avoids reading or thinks they’re just not good at it?

Yes. We hear this from many families. It’s often more about confidence than capability. Our approach focuses on small, achievable steps with visible progress and real rewards. This helps your child rebuild trust in their abilities.

What if we’ve already tried other literacy support?

Every child learns differently. Not all approaches work for everyone. We personalise learning based on your child’s needs, style, and pace. With flexible sessions and interactive content, many families see progress here even if other support didn’t work out.

What if my child makes a lot of mistakes or feels embarrassed when they get things wrong?

That’s exactly why our approach is different. Learning with us is non-judgemental and low-pressure. Mistakes are part of the process, especially for children with dyslexia. Lessons are structured to support progress, not perfection.

Will I get updates on how they’re doing?

Yes. You’ll receive a clear weekly report showing what your child completed, how they’re progressing, and what’s next. You’ll always feel connected to their learning.
