As a literacy specialist, Dr. Jenni sees the “summer slide” differently.

Research shows us that for students with dyslexia, summer isn’t just a break; it is a critical window. Without targeted, systematic evidence-based instruction, the progress they fought for all year is at risk. Dr. Jenni believes the choice you make now determines if they head into September with confidence or spend the first month playing catch-up.

At The Roig Academy, Dr. Jenni and her team specialize in the “why” behind the struggle. Dr. Jenni doesn’t just practice reading; she builds the cognitive foundation for it.

Join The Roig Academy this summer for 5 Weeks to Stronger Readers and Writers. The program is specifically designed for students entering grades K through 5 who need a summer program grounded in the science of reading.

Are you wondering why you should choose an IB school for your child with dyslexia? At The Roig Academy, we believe the best way to understand the world is to build it, test it, and launch it.

Our students recently took part in The Roig Academy IB World Cardboard Regatta, a beloved school tradition that invites students from grades K-8 to work together in teams. ⛵

While our project study has spanned many countries and cultures over the years, this team focused its inquiry on the history of the Bill Baggs Cape Florida Lighthouse, the complexities of coastal trade routes, and the cultural heritage of Spain. Our students turned that abstract research into tangible engineering. 🇪🇸

Choosing an IB school for a student with dyslexia means prioritizing a framework where inquiry drives every lesson. IB learning is designed to move students from simple memorization to conceptual understanding.

This event reflects inquiry in action.
Research becomes design.
Design becomes engineering.
Engineering becomes teamwork, perseverance, and leadership on the water.

This is the true power of the IB Exhibition in action. It proves that when students are given a challenge, they develop more than just academic skills. They build the grit to succeed on the water and beyond.

This is learning through doing.

This is The Roig Academy Regatta.

To kick off Teacher Appreciation Week, our Ravens surprised their teachers with heartfelt notes, which has been the absolute highlight of our year. 🍎

At The Roig Academy, we believe that true education is built on the foundation of a teacher who never gives up on a student. While we specialize in helping children with language-based learning disabilities such as dyslexia, we also prioritize creating safe and inclusive spaces where every student feels seen and valued.

Research supports that when students receive targeted, multisensory instruction in a supportive environment, they are better able to develop executive functioning and academic resilience.

We are so proud of our Roig community and the powerful bonds formed here every day.#

When reading becomes a source of stress, traditional methods often fail. Finding a supportive learning environment for children with dyslexia in Miami requires more than just academic instruction; it requires an approach that protects the learner’s confidence.

Here are a few ways that you can provide anxiety-informed literary support for your students.

A 2023 meta-analysis published in Learning Disabilities: A Contemporary Journal confirms that struggling readers experience significantly higher anxiety than their peers. When a student enters a “fight or flight” state, the brain effectively closes the door to cognitive processing.

At The Roig Academy, we translate this research into daily practice. Recent peer-reviewed findings in Annals of Dyslexia (2024) and The Reading Teacher (2023) emphasize a critical variable in literacy intervention: learner attitude. We do not just address phonics; we address the “”affective filter,”” which is the emotional barrier that prevents learning.

🐾 Leo, our resident therapy dog, acts as a sensory regulator. Unlike a peer or teacher, Leo offers a judgment-free presence, allowing students to:
Practice Oral Reading Fluency: Removing the anxiety of “”cold reads.””

Develop Prosody: Practicing natural expression in a low-stakes environment.

Build Reading Endurance: Shifting the task from a source of frustration to a regulated, positive experience.

Evidence-based literacy isn’t just about repetition; it’s about creating the emotional safety required for the brain to learn.
