Teach the Way Dyslexic Minds Learn
For parents and educators whose bright children can talk better than they can read or write.
It’s 11 PM and you’re still up, still worried, still turning it over in your head. I know that feeling. I was the kid you’re worried about.
I was told I’d never read at grade level. I read at graduate level.
I’m severely dyslexic. When Dr. Irena Hulicka — a neuropsychologist and former dean at SUNY Buffalo — tested my reading and writing, it came back at about a first-grade level.
I interned with the New York State Assembly, in a program that counted for college credit. My work there earned a recommended grade of A-minus. But the university’s political science department refused to accept my accommodations. They threw the work out.
Later I sat in on law school classes — auditing, never enrolled. On day two of contracts class, the professor — dyslexic himself — called on me and grilled me for about fifteen minutes. Then he stopped and said, “Russell, I have to stop… You couldn’t be more correct.”
Within weeks, I was reading at the graduate level. The door in was my own speech, and the one subject I couldn’t stop talking about.
Here’s what that taught me.
Your child’s brain isn’t broken. The instruction is
Your child’s brain isn’t broken. The instruction is.And you haven’t been failing them — the method was never built for a brain like theirs.
Everyone starts dyslexic kids where they’re weakest. I start where they’re strongest: their speech.
If you write, you will read
I went on to become a New York State Senate–funded dyslexia researcher.
Why Dyslexia Classes Exists
We started this because a parent shouldn’t need a special education degree to help their own kid write a sentence.
Our first job is teaching you — the parent — to teach your dyslexic child to write. Writing comes first, because writing is what opens up reading.
We also train teachers and other professionals in the same method, so it reaches classrooms too. But you’re who we built this for.
Quality Results
Students who have gone through the Full-Circle program have seen significant growth. In 3 to 6 months of training, there have been students who’ve seen an increase in writing and reading by 1 to 3 grade levels.
Experienced Staff
Russell has over 10 years of experience in teaching students with Dyslexia techniques to overcome their current struggles and recognize the superpower they’ve been given.
