Dyslexia – What to do and what to avoid

Quick guide for teachers

PRIMARY SCHOOL


 

Dyslexia, the best known among the Specific Learning Disorders, hinders the normal process of interpreting the graphic signs with which words are represented in writing, in an individual with normal intelligence, without physical and psychological problems, who has had adequate learning opportunities.

In the style of a teacher training notebook, Dyslexia - What to Do (and What to Avoid) presents primary school teachers with "ready-to-use" instructions to successfully address 14 problematic situations and difficulties typical of dyslexia.

Subsequently, further information and insights are provided, to contextualise the situation or difficulty presented (What to keep in mind) and tools and strategies on how to intervene regarding some crucial aspects (A few ideas on how to intervene). At the end of each chapter there is The expert advice, with practical suggestions to implement immediately.

 

At the beginning of each chapter, a drawing introduces the analysed behaviour.

• Explanations of the problem behaviour being consideredWhy does he/she do this?Brief and simple indications that can be useful to the teacher as a reference point for quickly deciding What to do and reflect on What to avoid.

• A more in-depth description of the specific problem behaviourbeing worked on: Analysis of the problem behaviour. • The tools and educational strategies to create the intervention: How to intervene.

Each chapter closes with The expert advice: reflections to further understand and enrich the teacher’s “briefcase of educational tools”.
