DYSLEXIA

Multisensory Teaching:


This approach means engaging multiple senses (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic) to enhance learning. It involves using interactive methods to establish reading and spelling skills. -Some examples of this sort of activity include:
-Using textured materials to trace letters and words while saying their sounds aloud.
-Incorporating movement or gestures into spelling lessons- “air writing letters”
-Using tactile letters to build words and practice phonics.

Phonological Awareness

This is the process that helps individuals recognize and manipulate the sounds of language. Examples of this may include:
-Playing rhyme games where students identify words that rhyme with a given word
-Breaking words into syllables and practicing segmenting and blending with those syllables
-Identifying the beginning, middle and ending sounds in words through interactive activities

Structured Literacy

This uses a systematic approach to teach language, it helps students understand the rules of pattern and language.
For example :
Teaching prefixed and suffixes to students to help them understand how meanings of words can change
Analyzing sentence structure to enhance comprehension skills.

Orton-Gillingham Approach:

This is a very highly structures and individualized approach that focuses on teaching phonics, decoding vocabulary, and comprehension skills. The difference is that it can be tailored to one’s specific needs.
-Integrate multisensory activities into each lesson, such as tapping out sounds while saying them.
-Use a systematic sequence of phonics lessons, building from simple to complex phonetic concepts.

Visual aids and Color coding:

Using color coded materials can help dyslexic students organize and differentiate between sounds, letters, and words. This aids in memory and understanding.
-Use color coded flashcards to distinguish different vowels sounds.
-Highlight key words or phrases with colored markers.
-Create color coded spelling charts to reinforce letter-sound associations.

Assistive Technology:

Using various apps available and text-to text, speech-to-text or spell checkers can bridge the gap between their challenges and learning needs.

Reading interventions:

This can target specific dyslexic students and personalize their learning by helping to solve whatever difficulty they may be facing such as fluency, comprehension, and sight-word recognition.
-Teach strategies like using context clues in comprehension.
-focus on vocab development through words games and activities.
-Introduce times repeated readings of short passages.
