Dyslexic Achiever
"I, myself, was always recognized . . . as the "slow one" in the family. It was quite true, and I knew it and accepted it. Writing and spelling were always terribly difficult for me. My letters were without originality. I was . . . an extraordinarily bad speller and have remained so until this day."
Agatha Christie
(Novelist)
What is the solution?
People with dyslexia often need a structured language program. Emphasis of such programmes is on the individual phonetic sound of words in speech, reading, and writing, rather than on memorizing complete words. Following multisensory modalities: hearing, touching, writing, and speaking, in teaching such children is very important. This instruction can best be provided by professionals who have specialized training in programs for dyslexic students.
