I was wondering if there were any teacher who are dyslexic who could give my some advice. I am a junior in college and I am expected to graduate may 2013. I will start student teaching next year. I am so nervous! I am on the deans list and receiving a scholarship for my grades. I was tested for dyslexia in elementary and have NO confidence when it comes to spelling. I can't tell left from right, I'm terrible with directions...I have just about all of the symptoms...

I was wondering what strategies you use to overcome some of the obstacles of dyslexia. I get so anxious and almost feel sick to my stomach thinking about having to write on the board in front of my future students. I feel like I have to spell check EVERYTHING! I was thinking about purchasing those little electronic dictionaries for my future students to use if they don't know how to spell something rather than relying on me every time.

I was also wondering if anyone else has had trouble memorizing their multiplication tables. I still use my fingers to count and have not memorize really any of them. They just don't stick to my mind! Does anyone know how to overcome this?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Please feel free to email me! I will be able to see your response faster.
