 Multi-sensory
teaching methods

and Human Development have shown that for children with difficulties learning
to read, a multi-sensory teaching method is the most effective teaching method.
This is especially crucial to teach a dyslexic
child. But what does it mean?

The majority
of children with dyslexia have come to the conclusion that they are stupid!
In any school in any week of the year a dyslexic child experiences
a huge amount of failure. Why can't he read and spell? He must be dumb, thick,
stupid. It's the conclusion that anyone would reach in similar circumstances,
and it badly needs changing before any corrective teaching is going to be effective.

| |  What
are the signs of dyslexia in a pupil?
The criteria most commonly
used in assessment is the disparity between a pupil's intelligence and their actual
achievement.
If a pupil appears to speak and listen normally, yet they are
unable to read and spell, then there may be more to check out.
Some of the
well-known symptoms of dyslexia are:
-
confusion over the direction letters face (b/d, p/9, p/q);
-
difficulties with left and right;
-
difficulties with keeping organized;
- difficulties
with spelling;
-
difficulties with directions (e.g. east and west);
-
missing out words when reading.
