In working with students with dyslexia as a literacy interventionist, this researcher observed students in intervention when faced with challenges doubting their abilities and their self-worth. This tracks with the decades of research by Carol Dweck on mindset. Dweck’s research does not connect mindset with dyslexia. However, this researcher believes students with dyslexia could benefit greatly from growth mindset thinking since it exposes the neuroscience of the brain’s malleability and provides a framework for students to see challenges and failures as opportunities. This research narrative explores the benefits of growth mindset, self-efficacy, resilience, and navigational capital for students, parents, and educators.
