Start talking about dyslexia
Learn what inspired the Dyslexic Mum to start talking to her child about dyslexia:
“Parents’ evening on a wintry mid-term night. The teacher started by telling me how hard my child was trying, yet she was still below average in reading.
My little girl was confused. Why did she find writing so hard when others did not? I knew it was time to start talking to her about dyslexia. So I made it as simple as possible and designed the card below to clearly explain the ‘why, who and what’ of dyslexia.”

When explaining dyslexia to a child use the top tips below:
- Be Honest – Be open, honest about dyslexia with the child. It can be confusing and scary for a child to realise they are different. They may believe negative things about themselves, start to think they are stupid and will not do well in life.
- Start Talking – This card starts a conversation with the child about dyslexia. The child will have many more questions about dyslexia. Use the rest of the cards in the “Dyslexic Mum Bag”, to talk to the child more about dyslexia. The cards will help build their confidence, get them organised and practise writing. Showing them that dyslexia is not something that has to hold them back in life.
- Beware, Internet – The internet contains so much untrue information about dyslexia. These incorrect facts can cause unnecessary confusion and stress. All the cards in ‘Mooki cards’ are carefully researched, so you know the information is true. If you need more information, stick to trusted websites. Such as the ‘NHS Dyslexia‘ and the ‘British Dyslexia Association‘.
All the cards are available as part of a “Mooki Cards“. Complete with 56 cards and storage wallet. Perfect for using at home or in the classroom. Order your “Mooki Cards” here!
