Reading games for dyslexia & struggling readers.

When a dyslexic child is working hard but reading still isn’t progressing, it isn’t effort or motivation. It is the teaching method. Genesis Reading combines neuroscience with playful strategy to create structured literacy games that build decoding, fluency and comprehension, so progress is visible.

Why Choose Genesis Reading?

Genesis Reading was founded by Certified Academic Language Therapist Sheridan Hotung after seeing too many capable dyslexic and struggling readers left behind by traditional reading instruction.

With over 20 years in Montessori education and lived experience as a mother of dyslexic children, Sheridan understood both the science of reading and the emotional toll when it isn’t working.

When schools could not meet her own children’s needs, she sought structured solutions grounded in neuroscience and multisensory language therapy. That work became the foundation of the games you see here today.

Her approach combined clarity, creativity and connection. Structured literacy, delivered in a way that dyslexic children could actually engage with.

What Makes Our Strategies So Effective?

Our methods are rooted in Multisensory Language Therapy (MSLT), a structured, evidence-based approach widely used to support children with dyslexia and other language-based learning differences. It activates visual, auditory and kinesthetic learning pathways so dyslexic learners are taught in the way their brains actually process language.

MSLT – a structured literacy approach aligned with how children with dyslexia learn best.
Brain-Based Games – that reduce resistance and build genuine engagement.
The Fun Zone – a safe learning space where confidence grows and progress sticks.
Step-By-Step Guidance for parents and teachers, so no one is left wondering what to do next.

No wasted years. No trial-and-error worksheets. Just structured practice that leads to measurable progress.

This approach helps dyslexic and struggling readers:

• Master phonemic awareness
• Strengthen decoding and spelling
• Tackle sight words with understanding
• Build vocabulary
• Improve fluency and comprehension
• Develop stronger study and testing skills

Because we combine structure, clarity and play, children don’t just make progress, they learn to read with confidence.

What are people saying?

As a literacy professor, I’ve seen firsthand how these games address the unique needs of diverse learners. They provide an interactive approach that develops phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, and comprehension. The visual elements and game-based learning make understanding more accessible and enjoyable for every student.

What truly sets these games apart is their ability to do more than just teach, they encourage critical thinking and verbal expression. Students stay motivated, and learning becomes an interactive, collaborative experience.

We just received the winter assessment results. In Fall 2021, on the Reading MAP my child scored 25% and in just 4 months, she scored 44%. That is an improvement of 56% (and is more than 1 standard deviation). I can never thank Genesis Reading enough
