Dear Parent:
Four tools are needed to remove the symbol/word blindness of the dyslexic of any age.
Tools # 1 & 2 are in Sky Village – Trail of Spells:
- The Mind’s Eye
- The Mastery of Abstract Words and Symbols
- The Clay Letters work is optional, but I recommend to parents that they do it.
- The Easy Written Vocabulary Builder is used when the parent and child read together. The bottom line — This is the technique that keeps your child from getting lost in phonics. The tool moves the dyslexic towards their strength of learning – picturing whole words versus using the two-dimensional abstract phonics symbols and sounds that confuse the dyslexic. Our parents are thrilled and cannot believe it’s this simple.

The articles and videos below will help you implement your child’s reading progress.
The articles/links are listed in the order to do them….
[1] The Mind’s Eye management exercises must be done first… Start by reading “The Mind’s Eye – The Spot – Perception” and watching the video “Go to The Spot”.
Remember when your child reads aloud to you and your child displays a reading disability symptom of a hesitation, inserted word, misread a word, replaced word, omitted word, misses a punctuation stop sign, or skips line(s), they gently but consistently hear from you, “Go to The Spot”. This way they will get comfortable with this perception tool (their new best friend for life).
[2] Next, do the the upper & lowercase alphabet exercises…
The Alphabet Mastery in clay article is a self-explanatory guide for you.
Remember that you, the parent, are looking for certainty in your child’s voice and facial expressions before putting the letters away for good. Yes, that’s right… FOR GOOD!
[3] Next do the punctuation exercise…
Once your child consistently makes the punctuation pause(s), your child is ready to learn to read more and more confidently.
[4] As needed, use the Reading Helpers to keep reading flowing.
You are looking for early WINS to build your child’s confidence. After your child masters punctuation marks, make sure they always pause at periods and picture what has been read. BTW… Congratulations on discovering Magical I Am. The whole Magical I Am team looks forward to hearing about your success story(s).
