Informational Handout

Dyslexia is a common learning difficulty that can cause problems with reading, writing, and spelling. It's not related to intelligence, but it's a specific learning difference that can present numerous challenges in an educational setting. As educators, it is important for us to understand dyslexia and how to support students who have it. That is why I created this handout that summarizes the information I collected about dyslexia during my time in my content area reading class. I could use this handout in the future as a resource to recall information about dyslexia or I could potentially use this as a handout to provide others with information about dyslexia, including its neurological basis, how to support students, and how to recognize its signs. This is why I included this resource in my resource portfolio, so that I can come back and utilize this resource in my future classroom.
