A Creative & Fun way I taught my Students Facts about Dyslexia

10/5/2015

3 Comments

 
I wanted to start my school year off by teaching my students facts about their learning difference, Dyslexia.
This strategy of mine had BIG potential of  being the most boring
possible way to begin a school year!!
Thank the good Lord for giving me the idea to put our new mini iPads to use!
We did research via
YouTube
Google
and various books.

Each of my students took away some great facts about their learning difference.
The videos that have been created are as uniquely creative and special as each one of my students!
I wanted to share this video by a 2nd grade student with you -
her mom has given me permission to share.  

​
Isn't her voice the cutest?!  

The most important thing my students learned from this project is that knowledge is power ~ 
knowing about why they struggle has helped 
them realize they are much more than their Dyslexia.
When you know the facts, you can own your struggles
and rise above them, discovering that YOU are 
SO MUCH MORE.

Don't underestimate the Power of the Alphabet

Thank you to all who tuned into my scope on Thursday!  Here are the slides I shared to help teachers dig deeper into the alphabet with their struggling students.
For those who did not catch Thursday's scope, building a solid foundation in the Alphabetic Principle - Letter/Sound Correspondence, will set a more successful foundation for spelling and reading with your students.  So, I created a PowerPoint file which teachers can use to help their students get a good grasp on the alphabet.  You can download the zip file below.  You can also take a peek at the document below before downloading.  My hope is that this will enhance your teaching and your student's love toward spelling and reading. 
Please feel free to share this with other teachers.  
The 3Word Nerds are happy to help answer any questions you may have for helping
your struggling students.
