Some individuals with dyslexia manage to learn early reading and spelling tasks, especially with excellent instruction, but later experience their most debilitating problems when more complex language skills are required, such as grammar, understanding textbook material, and writing essays. People with dyslexia can also have problems with spoken language, even after they have been exposed to excellent language models in their homes and high quality language instruction in school. They may find it difficult to express themselves clearly, or to fully comprehend what others mean when they speak. Such language problems are often difficult to recognize, but they can lead to major problems in school, in the workplace, and in relating to other people. The effects of dyslexia reach well beyond the classroom. ]]> 2018-02-13 19:23:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jwhitney6/211nikzo7w8e/wish/231245476 https://padlet.com/jwhitney6/211nikzo7w8e/wish/231247390 Some dyslexic people also struggle with math]]> 2018-02-13 19:26:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jwhitney6/211nikzo7w8e/wish/231247390 https://padlet.com/jwhitney6/211nikzo7w8e/wish/231248115 “Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that is neurobiological in origin. It is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities. These difficulties typically result from a deficit in the phonological component of language that is often unexpected in relation to other cognitive abilities and the provision of effective classroom instruction. Secondary consequences may include problems in reading comprehension and reduced reading experience that can impede growth of vocabulary and background knowledge.”]]> 2018-02-13 19:27:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jwhitney6/211nikzo7w8e/wish/231248115 https://padlet.com/jwhitney6/211nikzo7w8e/wish/231249660 https://dyslexiaida.org/most-reading-difficulties-can-be-resolved-or-diminished/]]> 2018-02-13 19:30:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jwhitney6/211nikzo7w8e/wish/231249660 https://padlet.com/jwhitney6/211nikzo7w8e/wish/231250299 Dyslexia is a language based disability.]]> 2018-02-13 19:31:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jwhitney6/211nikzo7w8e/wish/231250299 rjablonski_liu https://padlet.com/jwhitney6/211nikzo7w8e/wish/231250904 from
Dyslexia in the Classroom:  indicators  of possible dyslexia include some things that are not as readily identifiable as "reading" such as difficulty clapping to a rhythm, having trouble retrieving words, or difficulty remembering names (pages 4-5)]]> 2018-02-13 19:32:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jwhitney6/211nikzo7w8e/wish/231250904 awallace42 https://padlet.com/jwhitney6/211nikzo7w8e/wish/231251179  Self Image: Researchers have learned that when typical learners succeed, they credit their own efforts for their success. When they fail, they tell themselves to try harder. However, when learners with dyslexia succeed, they are likely to attribute their success to luck. When they fail, they simply see themselves as stupid. Research also suggests that these feelings of inferiority develop by the age of 10. After this age, it becomes extremely difficult to help the child develop a positive self-image. This is a powerful argument for early intervention.
Stress and Anxiety:
Stress and anxiety increase when we’re in situations over which we have little or no control (e.g., a car going off the road, tripping on the stairs, reading in public). All people, young and old, can experience overwhelming stress and exhibit signs of anxiety, but children, adolescents, and adults with dyslexia are particularly vulnerable. That’s because many individuals do not fully understand the nature of their learning disability, and as a result, tend to blame themselves for their own difficulties. Years of self-doubt and self-recrimination may erode a person’s self-esteem, making them less able to tolerate the challenges of school, work, or social interactions and more stressed and anxious. ]]> 2018-02-13 19:32:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jwhitney6/211nikzo7w8e/wish/231251179 https://padlet.com/jwhitney6/211nikzo7w8e/wish/231251816 2018-02-13 19:33:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jwhitney6/211nikzo7w8e/wish/231251816 https://padlet.com/jwhitney6/211nikzo7w8e/wish/231252201  Accommodations, provided for both testing and instruction, change the way students access information and demonstrate their knowledge, skills, and abilities; they do not change academic standards or expectations.
