GROUP POLL

Do any of your learners exhibit…

Written responses

Which learners came to mind? What may be influencing difficulties? What have you been doing to address

these difficulties?

Do any of your learners exhibit… Confusion of letter forms (b/d, m/w) Confusion of letter order (left/felt) Confusion of similar looking words Weak spelling skills Difficulty writing Deterioration of skills under pressure Confusion of language sounds Confusion of similar words (many/money) Difficulty with background noise Difficulty organizing words Difficulty processing when speech is slow/fast

What I am NOT Saying

NOT all your learners are dyslexic. NOT all your learners have hidden

disabilities. NOT all your learners require a

multisensory approach.

What I AM Saying

Many are struggling with similar challenges.

The proven solution is a multisensory educational approach.

This can benefit ALL our learners.
