Helping+Elementary+Students+With+Dyslexia


 * Hi I have been, unfortunately, tested in 3rd grade and I have dyslexia. So over the years I have found helpful tecniques that help with reading and writing and I would like to share them with you.**


 * //These tips are supposed to boost your confidence. They helped me!

1.//** **//Learn to type because writing will be a lot faster and the computer helps you with spelling.//**
 * //2.//** **//Never give up because you will not learn what you need to know and everyone needs practice.//**
 * //3.//** **//Don’t judge yourself by someone’s other work because you need to work at your level.//**
 * //4.//** **//Use the computer because it helps you read your writing and it helps you spell.//**
 * //5.//** **//Get your parents support because they will try to help you.//**
 * //6.//** **//Have your friends support because it will help to have a friend helping.//**
 * //7. Slow down and look at each word when you write//**. By S.D.

Some things that help with writing from Jeff Utecht!

1. Use [|Firefox] instead of Internet Explore. It has spell check so it underlines the words and allows you to right click and check your spelling.

2. I also use the Internet a lot when I'm on it to check my spelling. I just go to [|google.com] and type in a work. If it's spelled wrong it will say //Did you mean//....

3. I read things out loud to myself. Most people with dyslexia learn best through listening, so I read what I write out loud so I can hear it. I catch a lot of mistakes this way as it also forces me to slow down and look at each word carefully.

4. Understand yourself and try to understand dyslexia. I know how frustrating it is, but it is something you can deal with...you just have to know that it's going to take 3 hours to write a paper...but after 3 hours you have a great paper. :)
