Bryson year: 2013 brief summary: This article focuses on how to teach a student who has dyslexia. Dyslexia is a neurological learning disability that impairs reading, comprehension, phonological processing skills, interpreting words or letters. Dyslexia does not affect someone’s general intelligence. People with dyslexia have visual and auditory processing difficulties. Students with dyslexia learn best by breading down information into smaller units. For example, using flashcards with smaller pieces of information can be helpful. Students that have dyslexia need to be taught slowly, and thoroughly. Using a multisensory approach to learning is the most effective approach in teaching students with dyslexia. Teachers need to make the correct adjustments for learning. Source 2: book Name of book: Dyslexia: a teaching handbook Author: Michael E. Thomson and E.J.

Martinez

year: 2016 brief summary: This theses/dissertation is a study on the beliefs, attitudes and strategies that are implemented by elementary teachers who are working with students who have dyslexia. In this study they found that dyslexia effects fine motor skills and expressive/receptive language skills. When students with dyslexia have other impairments they often struggle at a greater extent. Additionally, in this student the teachers found that often times due to the dyslexia, these students experienced many social and emotional issues. The study showed that many times teachers are unsure of how to help these students develop positive self-imagine, coping strategies and self-advocating skills. It was shown that general education teachers do not feel properly trained, given the right resources or support to teach students with dyslexia. Even though many of the teachers do not feel properly trained, they expressed the desire to learn more to better help students with dyslexia.
