Children With Dyslexia And Strategies For Teaching Them Literacy

This website offers a variety of tips and strategies for working with students with dyslexia. It gives suggestions of activities to promote phonological awareness skills, reading comprehension and fluency, vocabulary development, oral reading, comprehension of written directions, spelling, and writing. Additionally, this website offers general recommendations for teachers of beginning readers and writers, general recommendations for the classroom, and recommendations to support reading comprehension and fluency in the classroom. Moreover, the websites gives strategies for supporting vocabulary throughout the reading and writing process. Lastly. recommendations for students with visual deficits are discussed on this website. There are several

The contents of this article demonstrates that speech language pathologists have such a multifaceted role throughout their profession, specifically in the sector of school-based intervention. It is not more so “who” must receive special treatment in the system, but “how” treatments are carried out. Gelzheiser et al (1991) have reported that public school research studies on special education show an absence in quality treatment. Interestingly, intelligence is not actually deemed to be a key factor when it comes to improving readability, which is why RTI is making the endeavor to deliver a more sufficient way of identifying those with reading disabilities. We learn throughout this article that the second Tier in RTI is typically where the most improvements occur-in the temporary yet intense instruction. Nonetheless, the problem lies in both financial costs and the fact that there is a potential for showing

The most hopeful intervention is early intervention. Classroom intervention and pullout remedial approaches have shown positive results. Prevention programs that focus on phonemic awareness, phonics, and meaning of text in reading instruction of early grades can reduce the base rates of at-risk dyslexic students to below five percent. It will also significantly improve the core reading skills of the weakest readers in early grades. For older students, intervention programs that are described as strategy based and direct instruction have been most effective for their grade level. The combination program has been evaluated with sever dyslexic students in randomized experimental designs with control groups. This approach resulted in better standardized reading measures. Students with word-reading abilities below the fifth percentile before the implementation of the explicit programs tested in the average range of word identification following the interventions (Shaywitz, Morris, & Shaywitz,

Causes of dyslexia or reading disabilities have been hotly debated by researchers and educators. Knowledge regarding the causes of reading disabilities is important as they define the strategies that will used to help students with dyslexia learn. Dyslexia is caused by differences in the information processing patterns of learning disability students. Language and phonological skills have been found to be the main cause of reading problems. This paper presents a critique and summarizes a paper dealing with phonological skills and how they affect the ability to read. Besides this the paper will highlight the main findings of

“Many children fail to reach proficient levels in reading only because they do not receive the amount and type of instruction they need” (Foorman, Francis, Fletcher, Schatschneider, & Mehta, 1998; Morrison, Bachman, & Connor, 2005 2005; Vellutino, Scanlon, Sipay, Small,

Dyslexia is a family problem as well as an academic problem for children around the world. All cultures are affected by it. The entire family has to deal with the issue. It can be recognized as early as kindergarten, (Zieman). According to Theories of Childhood, Second Edition, “Vygotsky believed that learning and development are similar but not identical. The combination of instructing the child and honoring the child’s individual development optimizes learning.” When children are silent from socializing and are quiet most of the time, there is no way to observe them to get a complete assessment of their learning according to Vygotsky (Mooney, 2013). A dyslexic child whose self-esteem has been lower or the child has been called names, may

“The Educational Impact of Mildred McGinnis” gives insight to the relevance of research and work developed by Mildred Aldridge McGinnis and how her techniques are still significant for teachers today. Although there are many research pioneers and contemporaries that have influenced the field of reading and education, one that is most influential for future dyslexia therapists is McGinnis. McGinnis is a well-known research pioneer that has greatly influenced the field of education since the early 1900’s. McGinnis began her career as a teacher of the deaf at the Central Institute for the Deaf in 1916. Following this accomplishment, she became the first head of the Central Institute for the Deaf

Research in the field of Dyslexia has grown twenty-five percent throughout the last few years. From recent studies, we have discovered new and improved ways to help people who are hindered by Dyslexia, even though we are still learning more about Dyslexia every day. Dyslexia is a learning difficulty that hinders the academic progress of over 40 million American students who struggle daily, and can be helped with accommodations. In order to help these 40 million students, we must acknowledge what is Dyslexia, recognize what it is like to be Dyslexic, and explore what accommodations should be given to those who need it.

According to the International Dyslexia Association (n.d.), “15-20% of the population has a language-based learning disability. Of the students with specific learning disabilities receiving special education services, 70-80% have deficits in reading” Language-based learning disabilities affect and impacts an individual throughout their lives. One of the most common diagnosis is specific learning disorder with impairment in reading, which is commonly referred to as dyslexia. Patients with dyslexia usually experience difficulty in reading and writing. They are often confused when pronouncing words and phrases, and usually have difficulty in reading fluency, comprehension, writing, spelling, recognizing and processing certain types of information.

Developmental dyslexia (referred as dyslexia hereafter) is a specific learning disability characterized by impairments in acquiring accurate and fluent word reading despite normal intelligence and adequate schooling (Hulme & Snowling, 2009). As one of the most common learning disorders, dyslexia affects approximately 3-7% of the English-speaking population (Rutter et al., 2004), and impairments continue into adulthood. In order to design effective interventions for improving the quality of dyslexics’ life, it is important to determine cognitive factors that contribute to impaired reading ability.

Many people with Dyslexia in certain area they don’t need strong language skills. Some are extremely creative. Dyslexia can occur in normal children. Not only children with a type of disorders can be diagnosis. Many people with Dyslexia have problem with certain things. School can also lead to the children feeling discourage about continuing to do their work. Dyslexic children might feel like they are being left behind because of the different things they are being taught (myDr. 3). The children should be also encourage by their teacher and not only their parents. Learning words are important, because in order for a child to know how to read they have to learn how to sound out word. Some Dyslexic children have problems with spelling some of

According to the “phonological-core variable-difference” model of Stanovich (1988), dyslexic poor readers will have a deficit only in the phonological core (difficulty making explicit reports about sound segments at the phoneme level, naming difficulties, inefficient use of phonological codes in short-term memory, and they may have other-than-normal categorical perception of certain phonemes). The author also compared the characteristics of dyslexics with other learning problems. For her, the garden-variety poor readers will have a variety of cognitive deficits, which will include the general verbal skills assessed by intelligence tests, in addition to phonological problems, but their phonological problems may be less severe than those of dyslexics. The author also considers that although phonological deficits underlie most cases of dyslexia, there may be a small number of dyslexics with visual/orthographic processing deficits.

In the past years, educators did not consider dyslexia as a disability so the students did not get the proper intervention that would help them throughout their school years (Greene, 2015). However, dyslexia is an educational matter that educators are facing today; it is really important that the teachers be given specific training on how to meet the educational needs of dyslexic students in their classroom. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (2015) all teachers should be licensed by the government, should have a Bachelor’s Degree, should complete a teacher training program and should have supervised experience in teaching. Some special education teachers need to complete a period of field experience while studying before they can teach. This will help the teacher get experience knowing the students with dyslexia and helping them to improve and be more successful in their lives. Also, they will have more awareness about dyslexia. In addition, there are some key abilities that the teacher must have: first is communication skills. This skill is important because it important to discuss students’ needs and performance with the teachers, parents and administrators. They also need to explain difficult concept in a way that the dyslexic student may understand. Second is critical-thinking skills; teachers evaluate learners’ progress and use that information to adjust lessons to help them learn.

Many students around the United States have reading difficulties, which can be due to a variety of reason such as: low socioeconomic status, family history of learning disabilities, a neurological disorder, limited exposure, etc. Reading difficulties can lead to further problems with education and learning, therefore the struggles should be addressed and intervention techniques should be implemented promptly. The interventions need to be individualized for the student based on their needs in order to improve the student’s reading to the best of their abilities.

Since all Dyslexic children differ from each other and learn differently it is crucial that parents and teachers incorporate all of their senses into the learning process as their visual or auditory processing may be impaired. Lawrence states that a child may pass a hearing or vision test quite easily, yet they may not be able to process this information into their memory. This shows how simple exercises can have a long lasting positive effect on the child in these early school years.
