Effective Teaching Methods for Dyslexic Children « The following advice has been provided by Dr Gloria Thomas. lrlen Dyslexia Centre, 74 Shady Grove, Forest Hill, Vic. Dyslexic children are often auditory and kinesthetic learners. They learn best by hearing and by doing. Hands on, concrete activities are the best for reading spelling, writing and maths.Writing on buff or coloured paper is often better than white, because it reduces the glare and enables them to concentrate better.
Play dough or modelling clay is great for little children to form letters, words and to correct reversals in numbers and in letters. Words made of play dough should always have a model of the word beside them. Using scrabble tiles, or magnetic tiles to make words can be helpful. As children get older, writing syllables in colour, enables them to picture or visualise the words. Brain Gym, cross patterning activities enable these students to use both sides of the brain and therefore concentrate better and keep focus longer. Open Dyslexic - Dyslexia Fonts.
