        to school so being a proactive parent can help prevent future
        problems. Here are three ways to help your struggling learner.
          First, capitalize on your child’s interests to help make
        learning fun. If your young child struggles with reading, use
        using a Minecraft type font. You could create a fun way to  Experience Dentistry with a Woman’s Touch
        his interest in Minecraft to learn sight words. Make flashcards
        memorize sight words by making a flashcards Minecraft
        concentration game. Or, you and your child can staple paper
        together and use some sight words to write a story about your   Cosmetic & Comprehensive Restorative Dentistry
        son and Minecraft. He can practice reading the story which
        can motivate him to read.                                             State of the Art & Same Day Restorations
          Help your child make the most gain in the shortest time
        by using specialized reading tutoring. As a well-intentioned         Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen Sedation Available
        parent you might hire a teacher to work with your daughter but
        many teachers don’t use a specialized reading program. Hire a
        reading specialist that uses the Barton, Wilson, or Lindamood-  Joanne Green, D.D.S.
        Bell reading programs. These are designed to help kids with
        persistent reading difficulty. To make improvements use at          10887 N. Military Trail, Suite 6
