According to teaching experts, children with dyslexia can be very bright. The root of their issues instead lies in the way their brain specifically processes information. As such, the earlier a teacher detects dyslexia, the better the odds the student will eventually overcome it. Dyslexia isn’t a life ending problem, after all -- it can be easily fixed, and teachers are getting in line to help.
In fact, with appropriate teaching methods, most dyslexic kids go on to lead successful lives.
With that in mind, it becomes more understandable that many dyslexics would benefit from a multi-sensory approach to learning. For example, the alphabet is best recognized and understood for dyslexics in terms of similarities of shapes. Before the training, none of those 100 teachers had any idea that dyslexics actually learned things differently.
