The degree of difficulty a child faces with dyslexia with reading, spelling, and/or speaking varies from person to person. Majorly, it is due to inherited differences in brain development, as well as the type of teaching the person receives. However, the brain is normal, often very “intelligent,” but with strengths in areas other than the language area.
This “difference” goes undetected until the person finds difficulty when learning to read and write. Each individual with dyslexia is unique, but the multisensory approach is flexible enough to serve a wide range of ages and learning differences. A multisensory approach can be valuable to many; to the dyslexic child, it is essential. The expertise of the teacher is the key.
So below is a list of videos all teachers having dyslexic students must watch.
