Period 4/5 Dyslexia Forums by https://padlet.com/csawyer19/ics3w3bsathv8dik After watching the video, The Big Picture, Rethinking Dyslexia, reflect on what you have learned. Once you have answered the discussion questions on google classroom, post your response to the discussion board, comment on at least two other participants' responses and feel free to "like" some as well. en-us 2022-04-27 15:10:54 UTC 2026-02-09 15:02:25 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f9d0.png Dom Daher ddaher24 https://padlet.com/csawyer19/ics3w3bsathv8dik/wish/2160679775 Can it be super stressful? Does having your disability make you upset? Learning differences are different from thinking differences, because learning difficulties include the following: Can’t read well, can’t pronounce words well, and having to write down instructions. Thinking differences are how you think about how to do something. Dyslexics often have a hard time on things such as seeing words. It’s easy to have terrible spelling when you have such a learning difference. However, people with dyslexia can cooperate with their differences over time by having more time to learn something, or writing down what their profesor/teacher says. Even with that, it can still be hard in school, and just in life in general.]]> 2022-04-27 16:10:49 UTC https://padlet.com/csawyer19/ics3w3bsathv8dik/wish/2160679775 Henry Delamere I once had a friend named Weston, and he was dyslexic, but he still went to a normal school, and after a while he just stopped coming to school. Eventually we found out that he was dyslexic so he had to go to a different school. We didn’t even know he was dyslexic. He seemed like a normal person that was fine at reading. So I wouldn’t say i could relate to anyone in the documentary, but I know people who would. So i guess that all i can say is that dyslexics don’t act differently, because I’ve known a dyslexic person for a long time, and he didn’t even know he was dyslexic until third grade. Overall, I wouldn’t say I could relate to anybody in that film.I would like to know if everyone who has dyslexia has a different level of reading, like if for some of them reading is harder for them than others. I also wonder if words look different for different people who have dyslexia. I wonder if dyslexics have to go to a different school all of the time, because I had a friend named Weston that was dyslexic, so he couldn't go to my school and moved away to a different school. I also wonder if anything else is really hard like sign language or street signs. https://padlet.com/csawyer19/ics3w3bsathv8dik/wish/2160679873

First of all I want to know how they think differently from us and how stressful and difficult it must be to learn. Also I wonder how words look to them and if they don’t seem backwards then are they scrambled, not letters, looks like drawings… Learning differences and thinking differences are not the same thing. Learning differences make it harder to read, write, or even try to process numbers. A learning difference is dyslexia, it’s very hard to write, read, hard to use numbers, and a very hard thing to do is open lockers. Thinking differences is like you think in pictures instead of words, you don’t know things that other people know, it’s hard to tell things apart, you can’t remember dates, time, names. https://padlet.com/csawyer19/ics3w3bsathv8dik/wish/2160680265 Colton Zinn]]> 2022-04-27 16:11:07 UTC https://padlet.com/csawyer19/ics3w3bsathv8dik/wish/2160680265 Is there some way that you can have dyslexia and then overcome the disability and get better at reading than most dyslexic people? Are there different ways you can have dyslexia like can it be just for writing or just for reading? Are there any more things that dyslexic people have a problem doing that can come easy to us? What can really help someone with dyslexia for a problem or project?Learning differences are when you have trouble learning something that may come easier to people that don’t have something like dyslexia. For example one of the hardest things that comes with dyslexia is trying to read and write which might sound easy but for them it can be a real challenge. For a thinking difference is that you can learn the right way but you just think differently from other people but you can still learn the same things as they do but in a different way and you can be not that smart but still learn the same thing but people with dyslexia can do that. People with thinking differences are not that smart because of the way that they think, not how they learn. tstrong241 https://padlet.com/csawyer19/ics3w3bsathv8dik/wish/2160680311 2022-04-27 16:11:09 UTC https://padlet.com/csawyer19/ics3w3bsathv8dik/wish/2160680311 jsoppitt24 https://padlet.com/csawyer19/ics3w3bsathv8dik/wish/2160680383 Some questions I still have about dyslexia after watching the documentary is what part of their brain makes them unable to read easily. Because the documentary talked about examples of dyslexia and comparing dyslexia brain to non-dyslexia brains. I was wondering what part of their brain was not letting them to easily read. Even though the documentary taught me about dyslexia and people struggling with it, I still think they should have talked more about the differences in our brains. But I still learned a lot about the struggles people with dyslexia or other differences go through.]]> 2022-04-27 16:11:12 UTC https://padlet.com/csawyer19/ics3w3bsathv8dik/wish/2160680383 https://padlet.com/csawyer19/ics3w3bsathv8dik/wish/2160680429
What it really feels like to look at the words and how your brain interprets them. Like if I were to read photosynthesis, how would I read it? I know that everyone has it differently but what is the most common way you see it. People say that dyslexic people have a very creative brain, does that come from them being dyslexic though?
Because sometimes when someone loses a sense they have a stronger one to help them.Learning differences is just how you learn like a temple could learn from the pictures she took in her head and that’s how she thought to she thought in picturestoo.But there two very different things ones how you think and ones how you learn

I also wonder how dyslexic people cope when other people don’t understand their learning difference? I also wonder if dislexic people ever notice if other people are dislexic because they went through some of the same experiences as the person they think might have dyslexia? I also wonder if people with dyslexia ever feel like they have overcome their disability?

Learning differences are different from thinking differences are very different. THis is because learning is how you intake information and thinking is the way you perceive things. When you learn differently it means you process information differently you still learn just in a different way. For example, people might see a text and have dyslexia. It might take them a little longer to read it than other people; it just means that they learn differently. But when you think differently it means you see things differently in a new light that other people can’t see. WHen you have dyslexia you have trouble reading and writing but that is more based around learning. When you have a thinking difference it means that everything you see is a little bit different compared to what other people see and feel. For example Temple Grandin had a thinking difference because she felt differently to everyone else in pretty much every situation. Unlike some of the people in the movies who’s dyslexia only really was noticeable when they were learning.

I would want to see this because I think it would be a very interesting experience, and I would be able to put myself in their shoes. Also I could bust myths about dyslexia like reading backwards. I could possibly find what is wrong in certain types of dyslexia and try to find what could help/cure it. Some things that I could experience first-hand would be not remembering names and faces or getting nervous for sitting for long periods of time. One difference between learning differences and thinking differences is that learning differences can go away but thinking ones can’t. Some examples of thinking differences are aspergers where you think in pictures.  ]]> 2022-04-27 16:11:36 UTC https://padlet.com/csawyer19/ics3w3bsathv8dik/wish/2160681027 Grace towey https://padlet.com/csawyer19/ics3w3bsathv8dik/wish/2160681067 Learning differences and thinking differences and two different things, learning differences are like you have trouble with some things like reading or math, you just don’t understand it like some others do so it's a lot harder. However with a thinking difference you think differently like with temple she thinks differently, she can picture things in her mind and she can “screenshot” things in her mind, she can still learn things like others her mind is just different.]]> 2022-04-27 16:11:38 UTC https://padlet.com/csawyer19/ics3w3bsathv8dik/wish/2160681067 swygant24 https://padlet.com/csawyer19/ics3w3bsathv8dik/wish/2160681447 Some questions I still have is why you can’t get tested until 3rd grade??? It seems like if someone is dyslexic they should be tested as soon as the parent/guardian sees that the kid has some learning issues. They should go to the doctor as soon as possible to check if they have dyslexia, so they can get help as soon as possible. Waiting until 3rd grade may mean that they have already struggled with school and they may be behind in school and no one knows if they have a learning difference or not. So they should get tested as soon as someone notices they learn differently, so they can get the help that they need.

What makes someone have dyslexia, what part of your body is changed more than the average human? Can people with dyslexia type on a keyboard because of how straight and individual the letters are from each other?
Thinking differences are where you can learn certain things but you might not process them the same or need to be told over again. Learning differences is where someone can’t learn something because your body and brain are not able to at all so you have to learn differently.

I know that there is not a cure for it but I was wondering if it’s possible to make it better. Like for example if you had dyslexia when you were ten, over time you could work on getting better at reading like when you are twenty you would still have a harder time reading but it would get better from when you were ten. 
Learning differences and thinking differences are two totally  different things, dyslexia is a learning difference. It affects the way you can learn, like it makes it harder for you to read and write. A thinking difference affects your thought process. It makes things like deciding what to eat and what to wear harder.

In fish in a tree, I know the girl writes letters in shaving cream. She also used colored plastic sheets and put them over paper because the white background makes it harder for her to understand words. Does sensory involvement help people with dyslexia understand words better? Are these practices actually used in people with dyslexia?

But also why does giving it color make it easier. How do they pronounce words wrong sometimes even though experts say that the disability doesn’t affect speech because speech comes naturally. How does your mind make each individual letter move around and not stay still because they don’t see other things moving around? Learning differences are when you learn things differently from other people. But thinking disabilities are when you think differently than other people. I know this because dyslexia is a learning disability and they have to learn differently than what “normal people” do to learn. But thinking disabilities mean that you don’t or cannot understand what other people can. People with thinking disabilities often have low IQ which makes it hard to learn what other people can. What are some of your thoughts on what thinking disabilities and learning disabilities are. https://padlet.com/csawyer19/ics3w3bsathv8dik/wish/2160682002

Learning differences are when there is a difference when you do a specific thing. Dyslexia is a learning difference because it only shows up in writing and reading. Thinking differences are there all the time, and show up in everything. Autism is a thinking difference. It shows up in everything, not just one particular topic. As you can see, learning differences are different from thinking differences.

I couldn’t read till probably third grade because I didn’t really get taught in second grade. I was really behind in second grade and I couldn’t do math very well, and it was really hard for me. Then in third grade my teacher helped me be able to like reading and made it so I could enjoy it. A question I still have about dyslexia is, how many people struggle with dyslexia? I would like to know how many kids and adults still have trouble with dyslexia because it seems like a bunch of people have dyslexia. It also looks super hard to deal with and it puts a lot of pressure on them. Maybe seeing how many people have dyslexia will show people that it's a pretty common thing to deal with. zclark6969 https://padlet.com/csawyer19/ics3w3bsathv8dik/wish/2160682744 2022-04-27 16:12:42 UTC https://padlet.com/csawyer19/ics3w3bsathv8dik/wish/2160682744 I didn't really relate to any of the kids or adults in the movie that much except for the one red haired kid who would rather listen to a movie,podcast,audio book etc.. rather than read because you get5 more information that way and you can be writing it down so you remember it more often instead of when you're reading you have to put all your focus into reading unless you're great at multitasking.One question that I still have is when do the dyslexic children start talking and adapting to the fact that they have dyslexia. I just wonder when out of all the time in the world when would they start to jump ahead and catch up with all the other students. Dyslexic people are actually really smart it’s not like there dumbSo why in their early years act very differently and be on the not so bright side but then sometime in their life they are able to catch up with everyone and probably go further than the other students too. Learning differences are physical traits that just means you have a different style of learning and you can’t change that you might have something like dyslexia and you will just have a different way of learning. But the thinking differences it’s a lot more focused on the mind in my opinion like it’s kind of mental. You just have a difference of looking at things in your mind and your head could be racing around thinking of multiple different answers of multiple different things to say. So I think they're actually quite different in a variety of different ways they both have to do with your mind and the way you think but most differences are a little more physical like if you can’t really read thats one example. nschrauth24 https://padlet.com/csawyer19/ics3w3bsathv8dik/wish/2160683010 2022-04-27 16:12:51 UTC https://padlet.com/csawyer19/ics3w3bsathv8dik/wish/2160683010 #3 jsoppitt24 https://padlet.com/csawyer19/ics3w3bsathv8dik/wish/2160683202 I believe that the difference between learning differences and thinking differences is that if you have a learning difference you just have a different way of learning then other people. A thinking difference is different from learning differences is that if you have a thinking difference you think different then other people. Some people with thinking differences think in pictures. Some people also think in voices. In Temple Granden, Temple had a blind friend and the friend thought in voices. Also Temple thought in pictures. Her ability to think in pictures helped her become the person she is today. Even though having learning or thinking differences can be hard, it is the reason many of those people are who they are today.

Yes I did relate to someone in the documentary.  I related to the boy who was born with dyslexia. His mom was a teacher and was ready to teach him lots of things but then she found out that he had dyslexia.  He said that dyslexia stressed him out because all the other kids were always ahead of him.  But throughout his childhood he got better at reading and writing.  




2. What questions do you still have about the reading disability, dyslexia?

I still have some questions.  First, I wonder if people who have dyslexia still struggle with it when they're like an adult?  Also is it true that people who have dyslexia can read well backwards. Secondly,  will your writing and reading ability improve as you get older.   Lastly does dyslexia go away?   



3. How are learning differences different from thinking differences?

A kid with dyslexia may have a different way of learning, like they may not learn to read as fast as other kids. But their dyslexia allows them to think in a different way than other people. Like in the video a dyslexic man was able to become a surgeon because his dyslexia allowed him to learn differently. Some people learn in pictures, some learn with sound. But that doesn’t mean people with dyslexia think differently, they are still people.

The difference between learning and thinking is how you learn things like math and reading and the way you think. Some dyslexics could have a very good memory but not be very good at writing or reading. One question I still have is when you dyslexia is reading and writing the only thing that you have trouble with? When people are dyslexic do they all have some trouble reading and writing or does it depend for different people? ]]> 2022-04-27 16:13:26 UTC https://padlet.com/csawyer19/ics3w3bsathv8dik/wish/2160684002 THeo Adam https://padlet.com/csawyer19/ics3w3bsathv8dik/wish/2160685111
Yes I can relate to some of the people in the documentary.  Not because I have dyslexia but I can’t really focus when I read. When people with dyslexia think outside of the box they imagine there in a jungle and the words are trees with monkeys on them. But all I see is words and a lot of them. When I look up I forget that I’m reading and just I think of something I wasn’t to do. I can go a whole minute without realising I’m in my room reading my book. Some question i have is why do people with dyslexia never ask for help. 
Another question I have and many others probably is how does it feel to have dyslexia.

It’s not. Two questions I have about dyslexia, when you’re dislexic, are there surgeries or  therapeutic learning sessions that could restore reading abilities? Or - how do dyslexic people see letters and words. But there’s nothing to do with vision right?
