Dyslexia is a language-based learning disability.Dyslexia refers to a cluster of symptoms, which result in people having difficulties with specific language skills,particularly reading.Students with dyslexia may experience difficulties in other language skills such as spelling, writing, and speaking.
Dyslexia is a life-long status, however, its impact can change at different stages in a person’s life.It is referred to as a learning disability because dyslexia can make it very difficult for a student to succeed academically in the typical instructional environment.
When teaching children with dyslexia, remember 5 simple points:
1. Keep each lession structured.
2. Each lession should build on the previous one(cumulative).
3. Teaching should be Multi-Sensory.
4. Plan for overlearning to comopensate for weaknesses.
5. Make Lessons interesting and meaningful.
