Dyslexia in the Class




Class teachers may be particularly confused by the student  whose consistent underachievement seems due to what may look like carelessness or lack of effort.

These children can be made to feel very different from their peers simply because they may be unable to follow simple instructions, which for others seem easy. It is a class teacher's responsibility to provide an atmosphere conducive to learning for all pupils within their class.

Class teachers need to have an understanding of the problems that the dyslexic child may have within the classroom situation. Hopefully, with this knowledge, a great deal of misunderstanding of a child's behavior can be prevented. In a positive and encouraging environment, a dyslexic child will experience the feeling of success and self-value.

Spelling Techniques




Most dyslexics have problems with reading and spelling, specifically with phonics, decoding words and remembering how to spell them. But for many, visual aids are extremely important in all aspects of learning. This technique uses visual cues within the words to help the child recognize the word and remember how to spell it.
