There are many different strategies for teaching children with dyslexia, and sometimes you have to get creative to best engage the students. Teachers must create a learning environment that will nurture the innate talents of dyslexic children, and support them in learning difficult topics.

In the video below, teachers suggest that by rearranging the classroom and utilizing the physical space, the learning environment can become a multi-sensory approach that appeals to the students' strengths.

As an example, mathematics can be shown using hoops, and many subjects can be better taught with visual aids. This creative approach is currently being adapted by other teachers in their classrooms.

There are specific brain exercises and games you can do with your child to improve their learning, and we'd love to help you discover them.

"Many dyslexic children are very good at 3D thinking; they can be very good visualizers. They are very good at remembering meaning in terms of stories, things that they've seen, things that they've done. What they find difficult is remembering symbols, but that can be made much easier for them if we use multi-sensory methods, if we use ways of teaching that work to their strengths." - Dr. Kate Saunders
