Why Guessing Words Is a Red Flag

Many struggling readers learn to guess words using pictures or context. While this may look like reading, guessing is exhausting and often hides decoding difficulties associated with dyslexia.

As reading demands increase, guessing leads to anxiety, avoidance, and loss of confidence.

At My Learning Farm, guessing is gently replaced with explicit decoding instruction so children can read with confidence instead of fear.

Achievements are CELEBRATED at My Learning Farm-progress, confidence and growth!
