"Imagine trying to read a sentence when every other word looks like made-up gibberish. It’s exhausting to read the sentence over and over again, trying to put together the meaning. That one troublesome sentence is followed by another… and another… and another… You know it’s not your fault – it’s the text doesn’t make sense …"

Did you know that it is estimated that 1 out of 5 people struggle with dyslexia (and often do not realize it)? This post provides a range of resources that look at dyslexia. The resources are grouped in four areas:
* Understanding Dsylexia
* Identifying Dyslexia
* How to Teach Dyslexic Students
* Personalizing Dyslexia
The resources include videos and articles/posts as well as a link to a great website at Yale. And if you have a student in your class how is dyslexic they might be interested in learning that the following people were also dyslexic: Albert Einstein, Steven Jobs, Walt Disney, Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg were also dyslexic.
very worthwhile! Did you know that th earliest sign of dyslexia is difficulty telling right from left? and that the kids will blithely interchange hands, not even knowing that they're doing it?
