For teachers
There are many reasons why teachers should adopt a more dyslexia
friendly approach:
- It will benefit all learners and not just
those who are dyslexic.
- If you cannot learn to read, you cannot read to learn.
- If dyslexia is not recognised early and a pattern of reading
failure has set in, children may become frustrated and depressed
and are often labeled either 'lazy', 'stupid' or both. Many
children lose confidence in their abilities and become school
failures.
What can the classroom teacher do?
- Awareness and
understanding
- How
do I know if I have a dyslexic pupil in my class?
- How
can I help a dyslexic child within the classroom?
- What
additional help and support should be recommended?
- Are there resources that
can help?
