| Summary: | Lee Pascal, author and teacher, has been studying dyslexia for over 35 years. In this engaging and light-hearted workshop for teaching assistants, he tackles the serious subject of dyslexia and offers real insight into how dyslexics think, learn and remember. He also looks at strategies and techniques for helping them with learning, spelling and reading. After an introduction to the subject of dyslexia, Lee talks about the visual, auditory and kinaesthetic approach to learning that dyslexics and others who have similar problems, find most useful. He engages his audience with some participatory games and passes on useful tips about how to support them with spelling. Joined-up writing and joined-up speaking are just two of the methods he advocates. He also looks at spelling techniques - look, cover, learn, remember - and concludes with the moving story of a boy who grew to love reading but only once books were made easy enough for him. |
