Even in home school, every child should have some nice Outdoor Playground Equipment!

To be honest, anyone with a reasonable level of intelligence and the willingness to try hard can probably be a good tutor. It's just a matter of staying a bit ahead in the curriculum so you know what to teach. You could try your local homeschool groups and see if anyone happens to be certified and selling their services, or if that doesn't work, just search online for "[city name] elementary tutors". Or post an ad on a place like Craigslist - just be sure to not include your home address in the ad.

Practically speaking, you could probably just do a little online research on dyslexia therapy and teach your daughter yourself. Not all children - even without dyslexia - learn to read at an early age. At least one of my sisters didn't really start reading until she was older than your daughter is now, she now reads years beyond the average.

How's your daughter with audio learning?
