  • DYSLEXIA BY IDA

     

    Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that is neurobiological in origin.  It is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding disabilities.  These difficulties typically result from a deficit in the phonological component of language that is often unexpected in relation to other cognitive abilities and the provision of effective classroom instruction.  Secondary consequences may include problems in reading comprehension and reduced reading experience that can impede growth of vocabulary and background knowledge.

  • READING STRATEGIES

    • Read, Read, Read
    • Determine words and reread passage
    • Read short sections and use self-questioning: who, what, where, why, when, how
    • Practice unknown words: write them on index card, trace them, read them, and review them many times
    • Read at a level that is comfortable, even if it is easier (will also help build confidence)
    • Read to younger siblings/pets/stuffed animals
    • Read to your child on grade level to help grow vocabulary
    • Choose books on subjects that interest your child
    • Read, Read, Read

    **The more your child sees words in print, the more automatic the words will be for them.
