Letters Made Simple

What reading assessment is your dyslexic student taking at school? For teachers, how about taking into consideration the number of insignificant miscues they make, and consider just not counting them? How about overlooking the fluency scale for those with processing speed challenges? How about providing minimal prompts that will help them remember the information they have read? Let’s keep our readers moving to a level where the vocabulary and the information they will be exposed to is grade appropriate, and much more engaging! The key is to choose the right reading materials just on the edge of hard. This not only allows them to decode new words and build the new pathways in the brain to store the word and its meaning, but also build self-confidence as they are able to see themselves becoming true readers.
