Child Care:Dyslexia

Dyslexia is the name given to children or adults who experience difficulty with learning to read. Often they perform quite well in other learning areas for some time but eventually the dyslexic problem will have an effect on their overall learning. Dyslexic children tend to spell words in a peculiar way with letters back to front or in the wrong sequence. They often know which letters to write but they will place them in the wrong order................. e.g.  English - Engilsh   does - dose   when - wehn





Dyslexia is a lifelong condition that affects reading, writing, spelling and even speaking.Dyslexia is very common and is not a sign of low intelligence.Teaching methods that involve sight, sound and touch can improve skills significantly.

  Why is dyslexia a gift?
 Dyslexic people are visual, multi-dimensional thinkers.They  are intuitive and highly creative, and excel at hands-on learning. Because they think in pictures, it is sometimes hard for them to understand letters, numbers, symbols, and written words. They can learn to read, write and study efficiently when they use methods geared to their unique learning style.
