Dyslexic strengths can include:
Sitting still and listening carefully.
Being imaginative, seeing the big picture, finding multiple ways to solve problems.
Following instructions with multiple steps.
When delivering instructions, it's best to:
Give them verbally, without leaving out any detail.
Chunk them into smaller steps, add a movement, and use visuals, like a whiteboard.
Put them on the board and ask kids to write them down.
One of the best ways to help learners with dyslexia to start written work and get their ideas down on paper is:
To use a device with a speech to text tool
Give them extra time
Give them a prewritten framework
When it comes to spelling, a strong indicator of dyslexia is:
Poor spelling
Phonetic spelling
Irregular spelling
Reading can be tiring for children with dyslexia because:
They don't enjoy reading
They read slowly and take longer
It requires extra effort to decode the words - it isn't an efficient process
You must answer all questions before checking your work.
