The Feedback Loop: Repetition Helps Dyslexia

Working with kids that have processing disorders can be hard. But though they have a different way of learning than most students, this doesn’t mean they can’t learn. Teachers just have to use strategies that are conducive to these students’ learning styles. This video suggests a potential solution -- Feedback Loop, a teaching tool that helps in working memory issues. 

It allows students to feed back parts of information as they receive it or hear it. A Phonological Loop starts from eyes to mouth to ear -- students have to see it, say it, and hear it. Orthological Loop goes from your ear to your hands to your eyes -- students have to hear it, write it, and read it. Doing simple things like having students repeat information, then writing it down, can make a big difference.

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.

Students who have language processing disorders have a deficit in one or both of phonological loop or orthographic loop.

Key Takeaways:

1
Feedback loop is a teaching tool that helps in working memory issues, teacher will instruct students to feedback parts of information as they receive it or hear it.
2
The way to fix language deficits like dyslexia and dysgraphia is to use the phonological and orthological loop repeatedly.
3
Phonological Loop starts from eyes to mouth to to ear; Orthological Loop goes from your ear to your hands then to your eyes.
