Dyslexia affects reading comprehension. It is an auditory disorder. The children have a difficult time with words. Just because they are dyslexic doesn't mean that they are stupid at all. It can be seen as early as pre-school. If children have difficulty sounding out words or are expanding their vocabulary slower than their peers, this is a sign of dyslexia. This then progresses to difficulty with matching letters to the sounds they make.]]> 2020-11-21 02:40:25 UTC https://padlet.com/22tullym1_1/mfkp3lbfnkah4q4k/wish/947573052 22tullym1_1 https://padlet.com/22tullym1_1/mfkp3lbfnkah4q4k/wish/947573140 Link
The signs of dyslexia can be shown with children not being able to learn the alphabet or even how to spell their name. As well, not being able to count. Dyslexia often causes stress and anxiety for children because it makes school very difficult for them. Dyslexia can exhaust children trying to read. Taking a long time on work compared to their other classmates causes them to fall behind. Dyslexia can even cause so much stress that a child may get frequent headaches or stomach aches.

Parents are very troubled when they find out that their child has a learning disability. There is a stigma with learning disabilities linked all the way to success later on in life. Having a child with dyslexia just means that their brains thinks a little bit differently than some other people.  Dyslexia can also hold advantages, dyslexic people are able to find patterns easily and are creative. Pablo Picasso was dyslexic! Signs can be seen early and children can get help as early as possible.]]> 2020-11-21 02:40:54 UTC https://padlet.com/22tullym1_1/mfkp3lbfnkah4q4k/wish/947573477 22tullym1_1 https://padlet.com/22tullym1_1/mfkp3lbfnkah4q4k/wish/947589141 Link
The most common ways of teaching include lecturing, testing, and activities. This may work for a lot of people, but not for everyone. Dyslexic learners use different strategies that work best for their learning style. When dyslexic children don't get help, they reach burnout very quickly. If there aren't many resources it is very difficult for those students to thrive. However, teaching core learning skills and expanding on them rather than memorizing, helps children with dyslexia. ]]> 2020-11-21 03:00:19 UTC https://padlet.com/22tullym1_1/mfkp3lbfnkah4q4k/wish/947589141 22tullym1_1 https://padlet.com/22tullym1_1/mfkp3lbfnkah4q4k/wish/947589278 Link
A student Tom shared his experiences as a dyslexic student. He wasn't diagnosed until elementary school. He explains how his brain has disconnect from what he is reading. Tom explains how he would be put in tears due to frustration. His doctor explains that there are two parts of dyslexia. One that affects the recognitions of words and sounds, and another that impacts the reading of them. The most helpful way for him to learn was specialized learning. Multi sensory learning is a term used that means engaging multiple senses when learning.]]> 2020-11-21 03:00:30 UTC https://padlet.com/22tullym1_1/mfkp3lbfnkah4q4k/wish/947589278 22tullym1_1 https://padlet.com/22tullym1_1/mfkp3lbfnkah4q4k/wish/947589395 Link
Children featured in the documentary explain how frustrated they were before they got help. One student mentions that he would flip his bed over in rage. The students themselves are feeling better after getting help. These students weren't seen as their test grades, at the program they are seen as bright with difficulties in writing and spelling. Educational psychologists are able to work with dyslexic students very well. One girl described her exercises as "just like a game really" . It's amazing how well these psychologists do with students.]]> 2020-11-21 03:00:39 UTC https://padlet.com/22tullym1_1/mfkp3lbfnkah4q4k/wish/947589395 22tullym1_1 https://padlet.com/22tullym1_1/mfkp3lbfnkah4q4k/wish/947589538 Link
This Ted Talk powerfully brought the viewer into the mind of somebody dyslexic. After trying to read just a few sentences it was clear how frustrating it would be. This Ted Talk also gave the statistic that 1/5 children have dyslexia. This could be even more considering the undiagnosed cases. The prevalence is extraordinarily high. People with dyslexia have an affected frontal gyrus which causes the disconnect between what they see and what they interpret. The extra time students spend decomposing words makes them fall behind. ]]> 2020-11-21 03:00:51 UTC https://padlet.com/22tullym1_1/mfkp3lbfnkah4q4k/wish/947589538 22tullym1_1 https://padlet.com/22tullym1_1/mfkp3lbfnkah4q4k/wish/947590055 Link
The video outlined how a gifted student can really struggle at school due to their learning disability. I also learned that some people, including school officials, have claimed dyslexia to not be real. This must be an awful feeling for the children, as well as their families. Dyslexia can range from mild to severe. The learning disability gives you a unique mindset that can be put to great use. Creativity is very high in people with dyslexia.]]> 2020-11-21 03:01:29 UTC https://padlet.com/22tullym1_1/mfkp3lbfnkah4q4k/wish/947590055 22tullym1_1 https://padlet.com/22tullym1_1/mfkp3lbfnkah4q4k/wish/947590226 Link
It's not only important to work with the students to make sure they succeed. It is also important to let the students know that they are doing well also. This particular school is training more and more teachers to help dyslexic students. They are already including multisensory learning methods which work well for dyslexic students. They estimate that about 5% of students in each classroom have severe dyslexia. The teachers are looking for signs of difficulties and signs of dyslexia. Not only with writing and reading, but with retention of everything. ]]> 2020-11-21 03:01:41 UTC https://padlet.com/22tullym1_1/mfkp3lbfnkah4q4k/wish/947590226 22tullym1_1 https://padlet.com/22tullym1_1/mfkp3lbfnkah4q4k/wish/947591355 Link
Children with dyslexia look at words differently. Using items to match with letters of the alphabet. Breaking words into different components works well. Using different colors when breaking down words is a strategy that may be helpful. Using an apple for the letter A is another example. These activities will help the child gain confidence.]]> 2020-11-21 03:03:01 UTC https://padlet.com/22tullym1_1/mfkp3lbfnkah4q4k/wish/947591355 22tullym1_1 https://padlet.com/22tullym1_1/mfkp3lbfnkah4q4k/wish/947676573 2020-11-21 05:02:54 UTC https://padlet.com/22tullym1_1/mfkp3lbfnkah4q4k/wish/947676573 22tullym1_1 https://padlet.com/22tullym1_1/mfkp3lbfnkah4q4k/wish/947676694 2020-11-21 05:03:06 UTC https://padlet.com/22tullym1_1/mfkp3lbfnkah4q4k/wish/947676694 22tullym1_1 https://padlet.com/22tullym1_1/mfkp3lbfnkah4q4k/wish/947676870 2020-11-21 05:03:27 UTC https://padlet.com/22tullym1_1/mfkp3lbfnkah4q4k/wish/947676870 22tullym1_1 https://padlet.com/22tullym1_1/mfkp3lbfnkah4q4k/wish/947677790 2020-11-21 05:05:06 UTC https://padlet.com/22tullym1_1/mfkp3lbfnkah4q4k/wish/947677790 22tullym1_1 https://padlet.com/22tullym1_1/mfkp3lbfnkah4q4k/wish/947678115 2020-11-21 05:05:41 UTC https://padlet.com/22tullym1_1/mfkp3lbfnkah4q4k/wish/947678115 22tullym1_1 https://padlet.com/22tullym1_1/mfkp3lbfnkah4q4k/wish/947678448 I chose this topic because I know it's a common learning disability. I had a very vague knowledge of dyslexia. I know have a much better understanding of it. I learned about just how common it is. It amazes me that 20% of people have it. An estimated 80-90% of students with learning disabilities have dyslexia. (Dr. Sally Shaywitz) I found it very interesting that there was a negative connotation with this learning disability. People think that this affects intelligence which is not true at all. I also learned that schools often do not have the resources to help these students. Many students see private phycologists which is expensive. This puts lower income students at yet another disadvantage.]]> 2020-11-21 05:06:21 UTC https://padlet.com/22tullym1_1/mfkp3lbfnkah4q4k/wish/947678448
