Research has established that dyslexic learners are
better able to store and retrieve information by using:
- Multisensory
Instruction:
By engaging all their senses when they learn, (visual,
auditory, tactile, and kinesthetic),
- Focused Instruction and Practice:
Teaching dyslexic students requires an intense and focused teaching
method along with much more practice than for traditional learners.
- Rule Based Instruction:
The rules that govern how
to read and spell must be taught one at a time, directly and explicitly
and practiced until fully mastered before introducing the next
rule. To be truly effective, the student must go back to the very
basic, first steps of learning to read and spell and build a solid
foundation.
- Teach, Assess, Teach:
Through exercises and practice,
the teacher will continually assess both new and previous material,
and if any confusion is uncovered, they can be re-taught the concept
before continuing.
