hello my name is Adriana de Groot and
I’m the head of inclusion at the Swiss
International School in Dubai I will
talk to you just briefly about how to
teach you dyslexic child to read now
learning a child to read is a three way
road on the one hand there is a school
on the other hand there is you at home
and then of course there is your child
so my first tip is work with the school
ask your teacher what do you want me to
do to help my child perhaps it’s
organization making sure that you pack
the bag in the evening that he has all
his materials with him perhaps it’s
reading with him once a day tip 2
whatever you do make it fun there’s so
many fun things you can do with children
who are dyslexic that help them to read
for one in the car plays silly word
games I spy with initial sounds I Spy
something with a sound or the ABC game
can you think of a country that starts
with an A a B and perhaps you yourself
won’t know what goes with cube which
makes the child feel great when he knows
the next one in the kitchen make cookies
in S shapes on the beach right in the
sand and for reading well read to him
teach him to like reading and after a
while perhaps read a page and then say
now you read two words and then now you
read half a page now we read a page
whatever you do make it lots of fun tip
three technology there’s many different
apps computer programs that you can buy
in stores just type it into the search
engine and you’ll find something on top
of the my head phonics would read a
rabbit’s as long as it’s colorful
engaging 20 minutes a day
perfect
but the bottom line is whatever you do
make it fun and make sure it’s you the
child and the school that worked
together that works best and he’ll learn
or she to read so in the end dyslexia is
a problem with reading and writing but
any child can overcome it just make sure
that you work together
that means you to school and your child
and whatever you decide to do it’s home
make it fun and make sure that the child
wants to learn is engaged and slowly but
surely he will learn to read and write
