Dyslexia is the most common learning disability, affecting about 5% of all students. Usually diagnosed in middle school, some students are placed in Special Education classes. Unfortunately, this may have the unfortunate side-effect of creating self-esteem issues. With that in mind, schools need to find more creative ways to address dyslexia in ways that prevent this loss of self-esteem.

This video seeks to find these ways to teach dyslexic students. The main idea is that schools in general need more funding, specifically for diagnoses and greater teacher training. In particular, teachers should be able to attend workshops and seminars to teach them how to accommodate the needs of dyslexic students at school. This would be a great asset for dyslexic students without always pursuing special education classes.

There are easy ways to drastically improve your reading ability by identifying just one "micro-skill.”
Use our simple online analysis tool to help you find what areas need strengthened.

It's not that there is a knowledge gap, there is an action gap. It's not clear, again, why schools aren't doing more, or there is not more effort for teacher training when it is the most common learning disability.

Key Takeaways:

1
There is a need for more teacher training workshops or seminars to accommodate the needs of dyslexic students at school.
2
What schools have done so far is to create special education classes which has a negative effect on the self-esteem of dyslexic learners.
3
Funding is needed for effective diagnosis of dyslexia and training for teachers
