Dyslexia: Wired for Photography [Premium]

Dyslexia: Wired for Photography [Premium]

by | Jan 10, 2025 | , , , , , ,

“It’s something that defined me. Dyslexia made me more visual.” – National Geographic photographer Robert Clark Are dyslexic people wired for photography? It’s easy to see how many people might agree. Many dyslexic people describe their preferred ways of processing information as nonverbal rather than verbal. Visuals may make up a significant part of that processing preference; other ways may be kinesthetic or spatial. In his interview with MSNBC, Robert Clark recalled daydreaming in class and not focusing on what was written on the board. What he noticed instead was a pattern of light moving across the wall. I had the chance to ask him about that in an interview: “(I was) in a room where the lights were turned off and there was a […]

My daughter is starting third grade and has been identified as being at risk for dyslexia. She’s currently going through Response to Intervention (RTI) and not getting Tier 3 support. What do you think about after school tutoring? Will that be enough?

Online Visual Math Curriculum [Premium]

Online Visual Math Curriculum [Premium]

by | Dec 16, 2024 | , , , ,

There are several potential advantages to using a visual online math curriculum: • an online program is infinitely patient • programs can adapt to users – not too hard or easy – just right • hints and encouragement when needed • comprehensive curriculum with some periodic review • colors and animation to illustrate concepts • options to repeat information or provide additional explanation Recently, I heard about KooBits.com. They say two thirds of the school children in Singapore are using KooBits and Singapore is recognized as an international leader in educational assessments (as a comparison whereas Singapore comes out as #1, US students usually score around #30). Singapore math programs introduce new math concepts using the Concrete-Pictoral-Abstract practice, an approach that works well for dyslexic […]

by | Dec 16, 2024 | , , ,

Fourth Grade Slump: Trouble Reading Long Words [Premium]

Fourth Grade Slump: Trouble Reading Long Words [Premium]

by | Nov 29, 2024 | , ,

“The words have more syllables, and many children have difficulty reading multisyllable words. There are children who can decode fairly well at a one-syllable level but do not know how to read words accurately and fluently when they must read through longer words. Since most decoding instruction stops by second grade at the latest, children are not being directly taught how to read multisyllable words just at the point when these words begin to become prevalent. Furthermore, fluency is expected by the intermediate grades and not knowing how to read multisyllable words negatively affects a child’s ability to read smoothly.”- Faith Borkowsky After the initial joy and relief of being able to decode words, many dyslexic students find that specific reading instruction at school disappears.

Games for Dyslexia Remediation [Premium]

Games for Dyslexia Remediation [Premium]

by | Oct 23, 2024 | , ,

Because many dyslexic students need more repetitions to master certain language tasks, adding little games to learning not only makes the time pass more quickly, it also makes learning time more memorable. Repurposing Games First of all, don’t feel as if you need to buy lots of new materials in order to gamify your learning time. I recently visited a friend, Dr. Nicole Swedberg, who has been a dyslexia tutor for many years and she let me take a picture of her game cabinet. Anything can be used as a reward. For board games, roll and read a sentence is a simple way to make the time pass quickly. If you’ve ever played Jenga the wood block tower game, giving a student a Jenga piece […]
