Educating Children with DyslexiaHomeschooling children with dyslexia could be very challenging. You must work at an individualized pace with programs which directly addresses their unique needs. Dyslexia - is a learning disability that makes itself manifest primarily as a difficulty with reading and spelling. It is separate and distinct from reading difficulties resulting from other causes, such as a non-neurological deficiency with vision or hearing, or from poor or inadequate reading instruction.
Some symptoms include: 1. Confusion with before/after, right/left, and so on 2. Difficulty learning the alphabet 3. Difficulty with word retrieval or naming problems 4. Difficulty identifying or generating rhyming words, or counting syllables in words (phonological awareness) 5. Difficulty with hearing and manipulating individual sounds in words (phonemic awareness) 6. Difficulty distinguishing different sounds in words (auditory discrimination) 7. Difficulty in learning the sounds of letters 8. Difficulty associating individual words with their correct meanings 9. Difficulty with time keeping and concept of time 10. Confusion with combination of words 11. Due to fear of speaking incorrectly, some children become withdrawn and shy or become bullies out of their inability to understand the social cues in their environment 12. Difficulty in organization skills • Davis Dyslexia Association International - Join us as we explore and share our knowledge about the best ways for dyslexic people to learn. • Parents Resource - Many teachers, teaching assistants and parents find themselves responsible for the education or support of a dyslexic child or teenager but do not feel equipped with the knowledge. • Free Child and Adult Tests - If dyslexic children are not attended to at an early stage, the effects can be devastating on an emotional level, often resulting in feelings of failure and loss of self-confidence. Take the tests to see if you or your child have symptoms. • Learning Breakthrough Program - Learning Breakthrough is more closely associated with reading improvements than any other area of learning challenge. The program dramatically improves the lives of dyslexic people with general reading difficulties by addressing the underlying weaknesses that limit reading success. • Play Dyslexic Games - Playing games is fun and kids loves to play games. Games work particularly well as a method for teaching as the child isn’t aware they are actually learning “boring” tasks such as reading and writing while playing games. • Symptoms - We have compiled a list of the most common symptoms of what could be dyslexia in preschoolers, primary schoolers, high schoolers and adults. One of the early symptoms may be the child’s inability to understand rhyming words. • Time for learning - If you are the parent of a dyslexic child, you have probably searched long and hard for ways to help your child learn. It can be overwhelming wading through programs and therapies. • Why Homeschool a Dyslexic Child? - Dyslexic children require direct, systematic, and individualized instruction in reading and spelling. Public schools cannot always provide an adequate level of service. Top of Dyslexia Page
