What do students with dyslexia wish their teachers knew? For those with dyslexia, each day of dealing with school may seem like standing on a slope braced against a huge boulder, desperately trying to keep it from rolling down and crushing you. However, a survey of families in Illinois with dyslexic children revealed that a staggering percentage of principals, teachers and other professionals don’t discuss dyslexia, consider it to be a medical (not educational) term and in some cases believe it isn’t real.
Dyslexia is an inherited condition that makes it extremely difficult to read, write and spell in your native language, despite at least average intelligence. It affects one out of five people and the severity can vary. Despite this, children with dyslexia have many varied interests, just like other kids. Students with dyslexia want their teachers to realize that though it may seem otherwise, they are actually trying harder than their peers who don’t have dyslexia. They want and need their teacher’s help and understanding.
