While starting off with phonics is inevitable when training a dyslexic child, I find that getting an established reader series and using flash cards with the child to read whole words (from the books) and giving him/her an opportunity to read a book gives a great feeling to the child.

As it is common to teach graded sight words which cannot be accomodated in phonics-teaching, right from the start, it would be meaningful to teach sight words from a graded reader and enable him to read from a book. Holding a book and reading from it is highly motivating to a child who in most instances are made to believe that he can never read a book!
