Dyslexia: We love to talk about it.
You and your child may feel you are in a rough spot.
Even so, properly assessed and taught
your struggling reader can transform into a smiling reader
and succeed in life.
1 of every 5 students has dyslexia.
Dyslexia is:
– a learning difference that is neurological in origin
– a major societal issue,
affecting 1 in 5 individuals
– a difference affecting the development of reading, writing and spelling skills
– a difference that comes with Super Powers! People with dyslexia often have intelligence
in areas such as visual-spatial,
emotional and creative.
Dyslexia is not:
– reading backward
– something children will "grow out of"
– an indicator of low intelligence.
In fact, people with dyslexia often have
above average intelligence.
– a diagnosis that means an individual
cannot be successful.
Many of the world's most successful entrepreneurs, athletes and artists have dyslexia.
