Class overview
What is Dyslexia Intervention? We employ a multisensory approach to reading instruction using the Bridges Program, that's been developed through the Scottish Rite Hospital. While using this program I work to enable students with dyslexia to achieve an maintain better word recognition, reading fluency, and reading comprehension.
Some students may feel their brain feels overwhelmed and confused when they read.
Through explicit and systematic teaching of phonics and word recognition the learner may feel like they can bridge the road to reading.
How to describe dyslexia:
Dyslexia is an unexpected difficulty in reading in relation to an individual’s higher level of intelligence. While those with dyslexia are slow readers, they also, paradoxically, are often very fast and creative thinkers.
Dyslexia is a difficulty appreciating the individual sounds in spoken language. It affects a person’s ability to rapidly retrieve the word he or she wants to say, to isolate the sounds within a spoken word and then to attach the appropriate letter to the sound. Those with dyslexia struggle to read fluently, spell words correctly and to learn a second language. Dyslexia is not reversing letters.
