Dyslexia Teaching Lessons

Children in mainstream schools do not normally receive dyslexia teaching lessons ie. lessons tailored to help those in the class with dyslexia. Although children with statemented special needs do receive extra help in the classroom this provision is only given once children reach a level severely behind that which is expected and by this time the dyslexia teaching lessons are often too little, too late for improvements to be made quickly enough for the child’s education.

Dyslexia teaching lessons or dyslexia help should be given as soon as a child is diagnosed with the condition and starts to fall behind in the key skills. Screening programmes in all schools at ages 4 or 5 for the key markers that highlight dyslexia traits would provide schools with invaluable information on which children would need dyslexia teaching lessons and dyslexia provision could be allocated immediately, before problems became entrenched and children’s progress in Maths and English was effected too much.

Early intervention is the key to dyslexia teaching help as the younger the brain the more pliable and receptive it is to adaptation. Dyslexia teaching lessons within a school setting can be extra help by a specialist dyslexia teacher outside the main class where an emphasis on phonic sound symbol relationships and practise of sequencing, visual and auditory discrimination can be done. Dyslexia help can also feature within the classroom with teachers following dyslexia friendly strategies to help the dyslexic child, such as clear presentation, repetition,  adaptable work materials, specific teaching aids for the dyslexic child.
