Lack Of Specific Teacher Training
I am a classroom teacher in a primary school. Every year dyslexic children are admitted to the regular school because they are ineligible for special education programmes. As a result these brilliant children struggle to cope with spelling, reading, writing and math simply because there is a lack of awareness by mainstream teachers.
Specific teacher training is the catalyst to help our dyslexic children thrive and succeed. Particularly, teachers of early readers should be trained to recognize the signs of dyslexia and give the support that is needed early.
No child should be held back by a special need, be it dyslexia or otherwise. There should be help for every child in every school.
