  1. Multi-sensory letter cards: Use letter cards with different textures and colours to help children associate each letter with a specific sensation or colour. For example, you could use sandpaper to represent the letter "S" or green for the letter "G"
  2.  Alphabet flash cards. Flashcards that show each letter of the alphabet along with a corresponding picture can be a helpful tool for teaching the alphabet to young children with dyslexia.

This popular method has long been used to teach children with dyslexia how to read. By focusing on the connection between letters and their sounds, children can assign more meaning to the language and develop better overall comprehension.

Multisensory- teaching 

Multisensory learning involves the use of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic-tactile pathways simultaneously to enhance memory and learning of written language. Links are consistently made between the visual (language we see), auditory (language we hear), and kinesthetic-tactile (language symbols we feel) pathways in learning to read and spell.

Characteristic features of dyslexia are difficulties in phonological awareness, verbal memory and verbal processing speed. Dyslexia occurs across a range of intellectual abilities. 

It is a neurological condition that can impact a person's ability to process language, particularly written language. People with dyslexia often have difficulty decoding and recognizing words, which can make reading and writing challenging

Dyslexia shows up and affects people differently , so there may not be one way of treating it as it can take different approaches  

Dyslexia is actually about information processing. Dyslexic people may have difficulty processing and remembering information they see and hear, which can affect learning and the acquisition of literacy skills.]]> 2023-03-20 12:55:50 UTC https://padlet.com/baxtermindy50/yrx8gzhcqslc484p/wish/2523504262 Behaviour factor in children who are dyslexic baxtermindy50 https://padlet.com/baxtermindy50/yrx8gzhcqslc484p/wish/2523509892

  • Finding it hard to learn or remember the letters of the alphabet.
  • Mispronouncing familiar words. “Baby talk” is common.
  • Having trouble recognizing letters. For example, they mistake "t" for "d."
  • Being unable to recognize rhyming patterns, like "Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall / Humpty Dumpty had a great fall."

In dyslexia, phonological processing difficulties are common and often play a significant role in reading and writing difficulties. Individuals with dyslexia may struggle with phonemic awareness, which is the ability to recognize and manipulate individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken language. They may also have difficulty with phonological memory, which is the ability to remember and retain sound sequences for a short period of time.


    These difficulties with phonological processing can make it challenging for individuals with dyslexia to map sounds to letters, and to recognize and decode words.

  • Phonological processing difficulties: Children with dyslexia often struggle with phonemic awareness, which is the ability to recognize and manipulate individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken language. They may also have difficulty with phonological memory, which is the ability to remember and retain sound sequences for a short period of time.
  • Difficulty with letter recognition and sound-symbol correspondence: Children with dyslexia may struggle with recognizing and identifying letters, and may have difficulty connecting sounds to their corresponding letters.
  • Difficulty with rhyming: Rhyming is an important pre-reading skill that helps children to develop phonemic awareness. Children with dyslexia may struggle with recognizing and producing rhyming words.

  • High-frequency sight words: Common words that are used frequently in written language, such as "the," "and," "is," "it," and "in."
  • Short-vowel words: Words with short vowel sounds, such as "cat," "dog," "pig," and "hat."
  • Rhyming words: Words that sound similar and have the same ending sound, such as "cat," "hat," and "mat."
  • Words with blends and digraphs: Words with two or more consonant sounds that are blended together, such as "grape," "swing," and "plant."
  • Words with irregular spelling patterns: Words that don't follow the standard spelling rules, such as "said," "was," and "have."

  • Multiple modes of input: Dyslexia can make it difficult for children to process information presented in a single format, such as written text. By using multimedia teaching methods, such as videos, images, and audio, children with dyslexia can receive information through multiple modes of input, which can make it easier for them to process and retain information.
  • Visual aids: Children with dyslexia often struggle with phonemic awareness, which is the ability to recognize and manipulate individual sounds in spoken language. Using visual aids, such as images and videos that demonstrate phonetic concepts, can help children with dyslexia to better understand the relationship between sounds and letters.
  • Interactive learning: Interactive multimedia materials, such as educational games and simulations, can engage children with dyslexia and help them to develop their literacy skills in a fun and interactive way. This can be especially beneficial for children who struggle with traditional teaching methods, which may not hold their attention or cater to their specific learning needs.

    • The video showed the child did not really interact with the cards as much. It also showed the cards were mostly in the position of the educator for most of the time, not really leaving any room for the child to interact with the cards.
    • The importance of the letter-sound relationship was something that was reiterated within the video, where the educator constantly encouraged the child to repeat the letter sounds
    • There were a few moments where the child did look
    • The educator provides positive reinforcements once the child has said a letter sound correctly 
    • The video seems to mainly focus on visual and auditory senses 
    • The video also showed how each teaching lesson was broken down into simple and manageable segments with a focus on letters then a focus on blending letter sounds.
