Dyslexia is the most common cause of reading, writing, and spelling difficulties. Teaching Tips for Kids with Dyslexia was written for anyone interested in learning more about dyslexia and acquiring a variety of strategies that can help these children become successful students!
Research has shown that possibly as many as 43 million Americans, from all economic and ethnic backgrounds, have dyslexia. In addition, research indicates that a predisposition to dyslexia can run in families. A family history of dyslexia could mean that as many as one-quarter to one-half of the children born to a parent with dyslexia will also have dyslexia, and that if one child in a family has dyslexia, almost half of that child’s siblings will also have dyslexia.
Here is the good news! Children with dyslexia can learn to read; are often very bright and verbal; and are frequently highly creative with superior reasoning abilities. The earlier children with dyslexia are identified, the easier it is to remediate their potential problems. When a diagnosis occurs after third grade, a child’s dyslexia is much more difficult to treat. Consequently, the observations of parents and preschool, kindergarten, and first-grade teachers are crucial. If you suspect that a child may have a language or learning delay, seek an evaluation. Do not wait until that child is failing and falling significantly behind the child’s peers.
Teaching Tips for Kids with Dyslexia is filled with information, suggestions, and teaching strategies that will help parents and teachers build a solid foundation for developing early reading skills in young children with dyslexia.
