"[W]e need a code-based approach, which really means direct instruction in phonics. ...the 3-cueing system is not what a student with dyslexia needs...So we really need to help them learn the code." (Brooks, 2019)

Overlearning
"For students with dyslexia to be successful, they need a lot more practice with skills that other students only need to be exposed to a few times...So we need to remember that they're not trying to be difficult, it's just they need a lot of practice." (Brooks, 2019)

Multi-sensory Delivery
"Students with dyslexia can learn more quickly if instruction is delivered using more than one sense simultaneously."

"When the student is writing or completing a dictation, we have them repeat the word, segment it into sounds, and they might use some kind of manipulatives to represent the sounds in the word, name the letters, and then they write the letters while saying the letter out loud.."

"For older students, who may be more self-conscious about using these strategies, Brooks recommends more discreet approaches, such as tapping out a word's syllables with their fingers."

Sounds, Music, and Rhyming Games
"Any games or songs that incorporate rhyming, repetition, and matching syllables to rhythms can give students with dyslexia extra practice with these skills."

"if you find yourself surprised by a student's difficulties in reading and writing because they seem strong in other areas, that's one potential sign that the child may have dyslexia."

The student struggles with the sounds of language
If they struggle with any of the following, they may have characteristics of dyslexia.
  1. Identifying the first sound in a word
  2. Blending sounds into words or segmenting words into sounds
  3. Pronouncing multisyllabic words like "specific"
  4. Rhyming
  5. Rote memory tasks like remembering songs or the days of the week
  6. Correctly repeating words back to you after you say them
  7. Not representing all sounds in a word when spelling it.

83% They don't use the term dyslexia
52% Dyslexia is a medical term
26% Dyslexia isn't real."

"Dyslexia affects 1/5 people."


(Dyslexia Buddy Network, 2015)

If we can't acknowledge as a widespread education community that dyslexia is certainly a problem that affects many students, how can we truly support them in the classroom and give them the proper tools to learn effectively. These statistics truly startled me that so many educators and admins are ignorant to the problems dyslexia cause.

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 the growth of vocabulary
and background knowledge." 

This reading gives some great overviews of Dyslexia and how it can be a challenge in the classroom but also offers ways to teach students with dyslexia and tips on managing their learning effectively.

(Dyslexia Buddy Network, 2015)]]> 2022-03-18 13:11:10 UTC https://padlet.com/nmcginleg/ed333_dyslexia/wish/2101892224 Effects of Dyslexia nmcginleg https://padlet.com/nmcginleg/ed333_dyslexia/wish/2101897642 "Dyslexia can affect spoken language, written language and language comprehension."

"Dyslexics require extra time and effort to process language information."

"Dyslexia is a unique mindset that is often gifted and productive, but learns differently than other minds."

I really like the idea about "[d]yslexia is a unique mindset" because it lifts up students with dyslexia and shares that it is not a negative point but rather a point of extra strength because students need to be able learn in different ways.
