There is much research to support the fact that an exposure to books and reading, helps children with their creative writing. A child who is familiar with the conventions of different text types is much more able to compose their own texts or stories.
 

One of the biggest challenges a parent has, is to find books for their dyslexic child which are interesting and within their reading level.

When I first started my course, I remember walking into Kinokunya in search of a book for a 7 yr old child I was teaching. It was early days for me so I didn't put much thought into the font; I was more concerned about the book content and reading level.

It was only when he began reading that I realised that he was unfamiliar with the font and this made reading that much more difficult.

Before deciding to homeschool, it is important for parents to consider the pros and the cons. I have listed a few here and this list is by no means exhaustive. If you can think of any others, please do add them on!
