I have nearly finished the synthetics phonics now and have found it another really enjoyable course. I am bowled over with the quality and thought that must have gone into creating the Jolly Phonics program. However, does anyone know of a similar course aimed at slightly older children as I wonder how suitable this would be for an older child who is still needing help with the basics, for whatever reason. Would they find some of the actions condesending?

Having read about teaching children sounds on the synthetic phonics course, I had an eureka moment. I child I know struggles to get her 'b' and 'd's the right way around. I made her a small case letter b and d out of felt and asked her to stick sequins and other bits onto the front of each. This gave her a tactile resource that she was able to hold and feel. Knowing the side with the different texture was the top and highlighted which way around the letter went. She loved idea and really enjoyed putting it together but it is too soon to decide whether it has been of benefit. I look forward to finding out...

I am looking to talk to people to give an ear to their experiences and nothing more. The purpose of this paper is to give light to the experiences that people face, endure, struggle with, etc. without the normal psychobabble that comes along with diagnoses and so on. It will remain confidential as I have the most utmost respect for the privacy of your feelings, thoughts, values, and overall experience. What you can benefit from this interaction is an unburdening of the kinds of things no one has taken the time to listen to before. Hope to hear from you! All the BEST!!!!

Subject: I think I might have Dyslexia.
Author: MJ [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 11:58:55 04/17/12 Tue Hi. I am a university student in my 4th year. I never really knew what dyslexia was until I saw something about it on a tv show. I have always got good grades, but I have a major problem with spelling and reading. I have trouble reading aloud and giving like presentations and stuff. I have trouble saying whats in my head. I also have trouble just reading to myself. I just can't read anything longer than a few sentences without just... idk not absorbing it. I have no reading comprehension I guess is how I should put it. As hard as it is to believe I made it this far in school without ever really reading much of anything. I mostly did math/physics so I just did practice problems to study and I did well on the tests. I also am a terrible speller. I have spellcheck on my mac for everything and I need it. For example words with like i,l.e,y in them I just can't seem to spell ever. Like "availability" or words like that. And I can NEVER spell people's names right. I always complained about this to my parents, but they just didn't take it seriously and thought I was just lazy when it comes to reading or that I didn't like it. But reading is genuinely difficult for me. But now my lack of reading ability is really becoming a problem in school and I don't know what to do about it. In higher level classes I am supposed to read all these papers and stuff, but I just can't. Do I just need to read more for practice? Or could I have dyslexia? I have no idea who to talk to or what to do about this. Does anyone have any advice? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

The sound, the animation and the fun element really do help. It teaches the children the correct fingers to use in a logical manner. Both dyslexics and non dyslexics can use it.

Date Posted: 23:48:34 09/21/12 Fri

Dear All,
I am a US citizen living in Japan and running an English school with my wife. Recently we received a new 18-year old student who has dyslexia and dreams of going to the United States to study at a university.

His mother has The Princeton Review's "K&W Guide to Colleges with LD" and we have looked into that for some basic information. It's a great guide but not enough for us to give proper support for this student's desire.

So I am asking help with the followings:

1. Is there a city where a good dyslexia support community exist locally especially for college-aged youth and where there's a university with good LD-support at the same time?
Since he would be a foreign student I think he would feel even more "out of place" so I think a good support community is essential to him.

2. He wants to study "physics" i.e. technology. Any recommendation for a good university with LD-support?

3. He will probably first need to go to an English prep school to be able to study at university level. Anyone knows an English prep school that can accommodate a dyslexic student?

4. Unfortunately Japan has a very poor LD support and many tests are not even available and he might have to do official diagnosis and documentation in the US. Can you recommend a good private clinic for official diagnosis and possible treatments?

Of course it would be fantastic if all four could be located at the same city or vicinity. And any other help/advice you could give for a foreign LD student trying to study in the US would be very appreciated :-)

I am sorry for the long message. If you would like to email me directly you can reach me at norbert.sayuri@gmail.com

Thank you a million in advance,
Norbert Szolnoky

Academic Work From A Dyslexic Undergraduate...

Author:
Pierce Lohman (Courage)
[ Edit | View ]

Date Posted: 17:10:35 09/07/12 Fri

To whom it may concern,

My name is Pierce Lohman. I have only been recognised as having dyslexia in my 2nd year at the University. Through my life, I have had many hardship due to either non-willingness or no opportunity to diagnose me. Nonetheless, I have still been able to do so much despite my condition.

I was told that it is not rare to meet families or even people with dyslexia, deciding that a path at the university is not an option. As such, I have written an atypical book where I share my difficulties. It is titled: "Academic Work From A Dyslexic Undergraduate...". I am positive that it is a great means to share that being normal or being dyslexic is no excuse for someone who has the will to take the path of academic. For more information, I invite you to have a look on the link ar.gy/1iTk or http://www.lulu.com/shop/pierce-lohman/academic-work-from-a-dyslexic-undergraduate/hardcover/product-20365839.html

I have nothing much to ask despite maybe an opportunity to share my book with your community. My only wish is to demonstrate that a career through university is meant for everyone.

Kind regards,

Pierce Lohman

Gentle reminders will work better than than all-out frustration that the child has forgotten to do something yet again... Setting an alarm on a watch so that the child is prompted independently to do their music practice, rather than being nagged by the parent, may be a simple solution to keeping family relationships a little smoother.

trust your
instincts and dig deep into finding out how complex any difficulties are for
your child. Over seven years, six different teachers told me that my son wasn't
dyslexic, and that there was 'no cause for concern'. I was told that he was 'a
typical boy' and 'just being lazy'. But I still didn't believe them! However,
it is very hard to keep pushing against the wall of professional opinion, so we
paid for our son to be tested privately by an Educational Psychologist. At last,
this proved what I had suspected all along - that he had a high IQ, and
dyslexia.

Hello again, I've nearly finished the course now and enjoyed every minute of it.
Today I was reading about supporting children with Maths. The course talked about the difficulties a child may experience with sequencing and talked about putting numbers in order. With my own children where younger and other children I have worked with since, I have relied alot on "the fishing game". A series of paper fish on the floor with a paperclip through or attached to them. The player(s) hold a rod (a short stick with a piece of thread attached to one end and a magnet dangling from it). The purpose being to fish out the numbers in the correct order (1-10, 10-1, 1-100 in 10's,etc) in can be adapted in so many ways but because it is (I have found) such an enjoyable activity the children relax and are better able to relax and succeed. I have also used it like a pairs game with a sum on one fish and an answer on another and the idea been to fish out a sum and the appropriate answer, or with sequencing the alphabet or completely unrelated pulling out a word and its meaning, the options are endless but I hope someone may read this and be able to use it and find it helpful themselves.

Author: Lauren [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 14:57:46 10/05/11 Wed 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. laurenhall5@my.unt.edu [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

First thing is how much I am really enjoying doing the certificate in dyslexia course.
I did a similar course a few years ago when my daughter was (and still is) struggling with her spellings. I remember learning then that dyslexic children are often creative because of how their brain works. It is no wonder that dyslexic children may suffer from a low self esteem when you consider the difficulties they are faced with:
spellings, reading, visual tracking, their left and right, and so the list goes on.
Yet when you consider how many dyslexics have gone on to achieve such amazing feats when they nurture the talents that they have been blessed with and like stated in the book, maybe if these are nurtured in the right way we will be relying on dyslexics to carry our society forward.

Hello everyone,

I am a recent student who has just finished his undergraduate program. I really wanna point out that it is hard to finish such program with hardly any help beside what you can master in families and friends. It is hard but I am very happy to have been able to do so much.

I have even taken the time to publish some of my work I had written for the university. In it, you will find many grammatical and reasoning errors. However, I think it is a good means to understand the difficulties that dyslexic student at University and other schools have. This offers a lens for you as a primary source so that you can perceive some basis for any solutions that you wish to find. The book is called "Academic Work from a Dyslexic Undergraduate...".

If you want more information, click on the link:

Or visit the link: http://www.lulu.com/shop/pierce-lohman/academic-work-from-a-dyslexic-undergraduate%E2%80%A6/hardcover/product-20090469.html

I wrote and prepared this book with the hope to help future university students to find some errors and attempt to correct themselves from the start by using the experience I have accumulated in this book.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. I would be more than happy to answer.

Cheers,

Pierce

CC loves science class because she gets to work with her hands. She also loves music class. She seems to be singing all the time. If there was a song for everything she had to learn I think she would like to learn more. I take care of a 35 year old man with Downs Syndrome and CC is my best helper. She is always making of him or helping him get a snack or taking care of him while walking from the car to the house. They both love to tease each other and he loves her dearly. He goes to watch her at basketball and then CC makes sure that she shoots hoops with him after the games. CC is in basketball, soccer, track and field. She loves to go outside and ride her bike, go hiking, go for a run with me, and is always willing to try something new as long as it has nothing to do with reading and writing!

Subject: Dyslexia in College
Author: Samantha [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 12:49:51 01/05/11 Wed My boyfriend and I are both sophomores at a small, prestigious liberal arts college, but he is dyslexic. I have always known that he struggles with memorization and completely conveying his knowledge on tests and quizzes, which results in mediocre grades. The only thing the college claims it can do for him is offer a separate room (free of people and excess noises) and extended time to take tests. That in itself doesn't help him much because he thinks he needs more time to learn the actual material, he can't absorb everything in 10 weeks. We are on the quarter system: 3 classes per 10 week quarter plus an exam week. He had been struggling along on borderline academic probation, C- or below don't pass, but not for lack of motivation or effort! He puts more time than anyone I know into his classes, and never takes time off on weekends to "unwind" in the same manner of many college students. After a threat from his parents of being forced to transfer schools (despite loving it here), he decided to put every effort into last quarter's classes, attending every class (as always) and study session, but came out once again with two Bs and C. (I know this doesn't sound all that bad, but he has gotten at least one C every quarter, and that's borderline failing on our grade system.) Coming into college his dream was to become a doctor, but now his expectations have lowered because he can't get any positive reinforcement or his learning disability taken into consideration when people see his transcript. I suggested that he may still get into med school if he does internships and volunteers or participates in student organizations on campus, but even the catch-all student organization that helps with admissions (the one that even the people with bad reputations among students get into) denied him because of his GPA. He was absolutely crushed by that rejection, and I can't bear to see this downward trend continue. Does anyone have any help or suggestions for me to support him - or anything at all that can be done? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Date Posted: 18:17:13 09/08/11 Thu

Heres a little background. I was able to get through high school with "ok" grades. I was tested my first year of college. I was attending a university and my mother thought my "bad" grades were due to laziness. I was diagnosed with ADD and dyslexia. It explained so much. After 4 years I am 3 classes from completing my associates degree. The community college I attend have changed disablity corridinators 3 times, I have had no help, let alone really known all the things that are out there till now. My college seems not to be complying with ADA requirements. So much so that the new Disability corridinator told me I dont have a disability, that i just have to work harder at reading then some and its not a disablity.
My question is, how would you deal with this. Im almost done but after leaving the meeting in tears I was ready to quit school. HELP!

I've already been through all most all of my school life without help but it would be nice to know if dyslexia is the reason my test scores are always on the lower side.

Subject: New text display process may aid Dyslexics

Author:
H. Michael Sweeney (Author, Publisher)
[ Edit | View ]

Date Posted: 09:40:12 07/13/11 Wed

I recently published a new book using a new display technology called ErgoText, which is both ergonomic and heuristic (improves learning power) in nature. At a recent convention showing the book two purchasers happened to be Dyslexic and announced (paraphrased) "Wow! I can read this no problem!" A bit of dialog convinced me aspects of ErgoText may hold a key to resolving Dyslexia and other reading issues.

So I contacted two other Dyslexics I knew and let the try it. They also said something similar. Between the four, there were three types of Dyslexics. Encouraged, I contacted the ErgoText inventors (ergodox.com) and as result they are offering a 'comparative reading challenge' - a kind of test for persons with reading difficulties (or not) to try to evaluate if the notion is true, and if so, to what extent, and to see if further scientific study or R&D is warranted to amplify or confirm any such ability.

To participate (about 5 minutes for normal readers) visit ergodox.com.

They are offering a free print-your-own writing paper to all who do participate, though one can choose to be anonymous if they wish. The writing paper uses the same technology principles and thus should make handwriting easier to read as well, especially as the writer gets used to it. My own handwriting is much better for it, I assure you.

If you want to know more about the book, it is a sci-fi called In Mindless Times - learn more at proparanoidpress.com, currently the only outlet for the book (ISBN number not yet published).

color of site
participating proffesionals in cognitive sciences
computer specialist
reviews on best sites and allowing a forum where articles of the news can be added with terminology explained
I feel like your close to getting it. I am an artist who wants to be completive
art has it's own terminologies that I have not found to be addressed.

Author: H Pogson [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 07:04:13 04/03/09 Fri I'm currently studying for the certificate in teaching children and teens with dyslexia and working in a school as a learning support assistant. From my studies and work, I've put together ten tips which could be given to parents, to help them have enjoyable reading sessions with their child. The list could be easily kept on a fridge or notice board for ease of reference. 10 Top Tips for Enjoyable Reading Together:- � Follow the First Golden Rule � tell them the word. � Adopt the Second Golden Rule - pause, prompt, praise. . Wait until the end of a line before correcting mistakes to allow time for self correction. � Make a wide variety of genres of books available in your home, ensuring that the content will interest your child. Let your child choose what they read. � Take time to read with your child � a quality ten minutes is better than a difficult half hour. � Let your child see you enjoying reading books, magazines and news papers etc. � Visit the library together. � Read to your child, or try sharing the reading. Reading a sentence each, will help with the recognition of sentences. � Listen to audio books together to promote good listening skills, which in turn will develop reading comprehension ability. � And remember, praise your child�s efforts and their time spent reading, to encourage confidence and independence.

Yesterday however, I was saddened to hear of a dyslexic student who undertook an undergraduate course at our college a few years ago. She achieved well with the support of staff and fellow students and having gained her degree hoped to go on to work in the social work field.However the odds were stacked against her. She found working on a computer difficult and she cannot drive (she has severe problems with understanding directions). Few work places,if any would employ her in that field for these reasons and so she remains a care worker in a local care home. More needs to be done to support severe dyslexics in the world of work in the UK and beyond to help them realise their true potential. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

While many teachers disapprove of children using calculators in the classrooms, I believe, in view of all I have learnt about dyslexia and confidence building during this course, that they are an excellent aid to learning and providing reassurance in a possibly stressful environment. To feel relaxed handing in homework which they themselves have been able to check over, must remove a great deal of anxiety.

I can see that the visual quality of the examples given to teach multiplication to a dyslexic child would work very well, in the light of all the material i have been reading in the manual so far. I like the idea of collecting anything that makes a natural pair....knife and fork, gloves, cup and saucer perhaps. It seems to me that this is a simple but effective way to count 'pairs of' and a great way to break through the initial barrier that many children, not only dyslexic children, find difficult to fathom.

Having almost come to the end of my course, I wish that as much information had been around a number of years ago when my son was having trouble concentrating at school and was sometimes disruptive in class, acting like the class clown! He did not appear to have any of the classic symptoms of dyslexia but he took ages to read any texts put in front of him and they made his eyes hurt. I was very lucky to have a friend who's child had been diagnosed with the Irlen syndrome and she put me in touch with a clinic which provided Mark with tinted glasses. Now I would say that one of the symptoms I observed was Mark's habit of turning his head sideways to view something or someone on front of him, to get them in his line of vision. To me it is a telltale sign now but there was little information on the subject o be had at that time.

Hello, As a teacher in a school for children with dyslexia, I firmly believe that it is important that you as parents learn about your child�s learning styles so that you are able to acknowledge your child�s challenges and are confident to be supportive and positive. As parents you should avoid failure situations at home as the child gets enough of that elsewhere. Home must be a safe place, so don�t show anxiety if you can possibly avoid it � it adds to their feeling of inadequacy. Rather offer praise when they make an effort as praise motivates them to keep on trying. Parents, you are able to provide relevant information about your child�s life and you are key partners/stakeholders throughout your child�s school career. Parents can get adequate information on how to work/collaborate with educational institutions and teachers, for example, Finding Help When Your Child Is Struggling in School, From Kindergarten Through Junior High School, by Lawrence J. Greene (olden Books, 1998) or Straight Talk About Reading, How Parents Can make Difference During the Early Years by Susan L. Hall and Louisa C. Moats, ED. D Foreword by G. Reid Lyon, Ph.D, Chief, Child Development and Behaviour Branch, National Institute of Health, (Contemporary Books,1999). Providing the right type of support both in school and at home and help to a child with dyslexia is key to their success!

Why is everyone creating a buzz about Oregon allowing spell checkers for tests in K-12? Here's one reason...over 1/5th of the people in America are challenged in some respect with the English language. Simply consult the latest US Literacy Survey.
The English language is the only language in the world which has made no reforms in over 150 years. Our language is referred to as a non-shallow orthography. Which means, letters do not match their sounds. That there are over 20 ways to spell the 'ough' sound, 13 ways to make the 'sh' sound, loads of silent letters and miles of exceptions to the rules is all compounded when logic wants to rule. Does anyone have anything to add to this?

I'm not a dyslexia sufferer but I've been told that some web sites can be difficult for dyslexics to read. This problem, as I understand it, can be caused by general clutter and colour schemes.

I have developed a free internet tool, Textise, that can convert most web pages into text. The tool also allows the user to configure font, font size and colour scheme. Once in the "text-only" view, all links go to similarly "textised" pages.

There's also a Firefox add-on for the tool that makes it easy to flip into text mode from the right-click menu or the toolbar.

I'd be really interetsed to know if dyslexia sufferers can benefit from Textise.

You can get to Textise at www.textise.net. The Firefox add-on can be downloaded from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/12145.

Author: Mary (Slowly becoming enlightened!) [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 04:23:29 10/17/10 Sun Hi - my great nephew came to live with us when he was 5 years old. He did not speak English. To begin with I thought his difficulties with phonic recognition, pronunciation and reading were to do with his not speaking English as his first language. Phonics in his own language (Shona) is different, obviously from English phonics. Only in the last few months have I begun to realise that he is dyslexic and a recent hearing test as well as being tested by an educational psychologist has confirmed this. It has taken me 7 years to realise this and I feel rather guilty that I did not pick this up earlier and get him assistance at an earlier age. Has anyone else experienced this confusion between dyslexia and second language learning? If so, at what stage did you realise that the child was dyslexic? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: Marc [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 23:03:01 10/02/10 Sat I am an elementary dyslexic school teacher that understands and gets the frustrations of my students. My biggest frustration getting thought college was I repeated classes and the degree I got took me 8 years where if other students put in the same time and effort it would have taken them 3. While I was student teaching I let my master teacher (the one from the college that observes and grades you) know I was dyslexic. She asked me what I found to be my biggest difficulty to be and I told her spelling. I was open that there were times in the classroom I use a spell checker in front of my students. She passed me however in her letter of recommendation she felt the need to mention my lack of spelling ability. I learned to keep my dyslexia to myself in the education world. Now in my 7th year teaching its hard to stand by and watch student struggle with other teachers who may sympathize with the student but just don't GET IT. I wish more then anything I could get other teachers to GET IT. I have even watched a dyslexic dad fight for his dyslexic son in a meeting knowing walking out at the end of the meeting nothing was going to get better because the other teacher in the room just has no Idea what it is like to stuggle to learn. She has a master in special education like so many others that just don't get it. In an ideal world I would teach only dyslexic studets at my own school. That is not the case and I was not born into money. So I am now going back to school which I do not enjoy going (love to teach) to get a master in special education. My pray is a discover a way to get non dislexic teachers to understand the frustration of the student and hopefully find or make better accomidation for us. A state funded dyslexic school in the state of california. That would be cool! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

A dyslexic pupil I taught found learning to correctly spell the colours: red, yellow, blue, green, orange, purple, white, brown and black extremely challenging. To help the pupil succeed I approached the task in a number of ways.
� I gave him a poster I had made to place by his bed at home with a picture of children at a park, which was only drawn in grey. The children were only dressed in one colour with that colour written on their T-shirt.
� I got the pupil to type the name of each colour in lots of different fonts and print them in that correct colour.
� To grab the correct plastic letters in the right spelling order out of a basin of water.
� To fish for each letter using a card and magnet game.
� To write the name of colours in large chalks on the playground.
� To make each word out of appropriately coloured pipe cleaners.
� To complete word searches on each colour in the correct coloured felt tips.
I am thrilled to say the pupil is now able to spell all of the colours correctly.

Author: Kate Hyland (V helpful for younger kids) [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 14:27:14 07/15/10 Thu As a trainee techer I recently completed a number of substitution days in a local primary school. On entering the classroom I was pre-warned as to the children who had special learning difficulties e.g. dyslexia. One learning syrategy that I found to be extremely effective eas in the form of 'keyrings'. As noted in the course dyslexic children find it particularly difficult to visualise abstract words i.e. words that make up the dolch list e.g. went, again, sit of live. The keyring idea was based on a no. of these words being laminated, and fixed onto the keyring, which was then buckled to the childs belt. That way as the child went through their dauly routine, e.g. luchtime, the teacher could ask "show me the word very". The child would then have to find that particular word, thus reinforcing the visualisation of the word. I found this to be particularly effective and the kids loved it too.

He likes computers and electrician possibly. Any advice out there for us? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
