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

10/5/2015

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.
