I really wish the people with comments about making it more fun for the child would just stop that. Why does everything have to be fun? Why do kids always have to be entertained? No wonder we have 2 or 3 generations of people now who don’t even know how to think critically. Perhaps concentrating is a good thing.
The way she discards the eraser... lol. I would love to see the child and teacher having more FUN and enjoying the process. This child does not appear to be enjoying the lesson and that is the essential starting point for dyslexics.... They NEED to believe in themselves! What better way to believe you can do something than finding joy in the process!? When they don't, the adult MUST be that person and give them copious amounts of praise and beef up their self esteem! There's GOT to be joy in learning!!
That's what I was thinking. I tutor kids who struggle to learn to read, but the program I use is more interesting. I also use a lot of encouragement. I'd have been smiling and letting her know how well she's doing (while also gently correcting her if she made mistakes). I have to admit, I didn't watch the whole thing - but it's because I myself found it so boring and felt bad for the girl.
Well, the girl seemed happier in the end after accomplishing different tasks. She probably feels better than kids who receive constant praise regardless their output.
Dyslexic people dont need kindness. They need teachers and programs that work. I know exactly how this little girl feels and the teacher is doing a great job at keeping the student focused.
Thank you. I went through this in math as a kid and the repetition and one-on-one exercises helped significantly. My daughter did reading recovery in grade one, which involved one-one-one interaction with a specialist. She also has ADHD. It might be me and the era in which I grew up, but this specialist is KIND and not rude!!! We had brutal teachers in the 1970s-early 1980s. Just my opinion....
I agree! This teacher clearly wants the child to succeed. I applaud the teacher who stays completely focussed on the child the entire time without losing a beat.
She kind of rushes the girl to do as she’s asks it seems to me.. As a dyslexic person myself I would be frustrated with how Quick she wants those answers.
People can’t teach their own kid with kindness but expect other people who don’t know their kids too. It’s hard as hell not to get frustrated teaching kids that can’t seem to focus and ask the same thing over that they literally just did. But this does give me insight to be more patient.
It’s their job though to understand and be patient, us dyslexics have a hard enough time and when you have a teacher getting annoyed with you for trying your best it adds to the pressure and makes you feel like crap tbh
We all encounter frustration. What worked with kids 1-2-3-5 wont work for kid 4. Take a deep breath and regroup strategy. Even the best teachers need skill and unending patience.😊
I think most people miss that dyslexics are highly intelligent. They see patterns, so if you help them understand the WHY they will jump leaps and bounds in their learning. So it it appear’s the child was growing in frustration in the beginning because she didn’t understand WHY she had to do the exercises 7 different ways, she only saw the small window of what was going on and she was upset because she understood and likely felt why are you over complicating this?! That is until she learned she was applying it to all those words. That’s where the magic happened. The WHY wasn’t clear until she started reading the like sounding words. I wouldn’t under estimate the communication and comprehension of the child. They are typically 10 years ahead of their peers in this area. Their outbursts are a result of their frustration. If you explain the WHY and give an overview so they can see where you’re going with all of it, she may be more engaged. In other words get to the point. Explore strategy games and building to develop your child’s mind. Or memory games. The child just needs a strong foundation of vocabulary, while they start slow, some of our worlds most innovative people are dyslexic! 🎉❤ it’s quite a beautiful thing to watch a mind at work.
Im dyslexic and middle aged. This reminds me of special classes i went to. My son is also dyslexic and having thsese challenges now. This video is giving me lots of feels.
My daughter is dyslexic and im doing my best with my baby to try and help her read write and do her math my baby is 9 yrs she is having a hard time im cried im doing my best to help my baby
The fact that you are even trying to help already says a lot. There is a book called Overcoming Dyslexia by Sally Shaywitz that is very informational. There is also Nessy Learning programme out of the UK. Dont be afraid to give her lots of auditory help. Audiobooks from library are awesome. Throw out the idea of grade specific goals and lean into her strengths. If you haven't already got an official diagnosis you should see if you can, that way you can work with her School to help her in a more tailored way. I took my dyslexiuc 9 year old out of school and homeschool him now, but I realize not everyone has this opportunity. Most importantly, remember dysiexia isn't a problem, its a process. She will learn, and she will grow if you are her champion. There is a video on youtube named A Boy Named Mical that is very inspiring. Take a breath, be kind to yourself and take each day at a time :D
My daughter is 9 also. We’re struggling together, but we will get through it. Don’t stress. You’re child will get it. Kindness and never giving up are the recipes for success.
Don’t get discouraged mom, I’m dyslexic myself, growing up in a third word country, I didn’t have the proper care and help educational help that I needed, I was labeled as being a dumb, stupid child by my family… I didn’t understand what was wrong with me, until I came to the USA, I was diagnosed with dyslexia here as a teenager 16 years old. Thank God, I managed to get some help . I work harder and sometimes worked double than regular people, I went off became a RN in my adulthood, graduated with high honors. Nothing is impossible if you put God first, Trust the Lord. My little boy who is 6 years old is dyslexic as well, we are getting him the proper support he needs, patient, perseverance, praising and consistency does help !!!!! Your Daughter has a bright mind!!! We just think and see things in a different way😊
I remember when my Son was entering 3rd grade and he could not read - then we did a Psycho-Ed Eval and learned he had not only dyslexia, but severe Learning Disabilities. There were no resources in our School District. Being a single Mum was challenging on its own, however, I had to go to school to learn how to teach my Son to write, read etc. Linda Mood Bell and Orton-Gillingham Techniques were a life saver. Multi-sensory is the way to connect the brain. I remember as a child myself, I was tormented and angered by the method of "teaching" us to learn differently. It was an aged outdated system of shooting in the dark to retrain the LD brain. The 60's was still a learning phase for teaching techniques in a regular school - never mind how to teach us with LD's. Good luck to all you Mums and Dads who are trying to teach their Children with Learning Disabilities and/or Dyslexia. :)
I have an 8 yr old son who is struggling with reading, remembering, decoding, spelling etc. As a single mom it's a challenge for me to visit different specialist to get him diagnosed. However I've been doing my own research and I realized his struggling areas. Presently am looking for way I can help him that won't be a financial strain on me. Thank you for sharing your technic.
I’m trying to teach myself. I’m 25 and still struggling with reading and spelling… can you please explain how you taught your son so I can try to teach myself? This has been an insane battle for me and it’s really feeling like I’ll never win.. I saw the chapters (the book store) has spelling books for grade 1 and up. Should I get these work books and hope they help? Any suggestions would help a lot
@@chris123chris82 multi sensory teaching, Orton Gillingham or Linda Mood Bell. Get a big shallow pan and get him to write his name in the rice. Put a thick layer of rice in the pan. As he sees his finger drawing the letters it registers in his head (neuro sensors connect the impulse with the end of the command in the brain). Do the same with him writing his name or other words on his arm. works like could would should all end in OULD meaning oh you leap down. it is like word association. Use mirrors for dyslexia. Watch some videos. Multi sensory technique learning is valuable to these children. It comes from right brain, left brain. If children are right handed, you could try having them do some tasks with their left hand
I know exactly how you feel. We were pushed from therapy to therapy because our son doesn't suit the style of teaching "in a normal stream school". The worst part is teachers writing him off.
I read through the comments and want to cry. I recognise all these emotions and as I hope to teach my daughter I feel it even stronger. Good luck every one x
I am a math teacher and I have a dylexic student, 7th grade, today is the first day in this acadmic year. he looks realy smart but he gets bored easly and starting to make sounds in the back of class, and its realy hard to make him sit in his chair, tomorow I will give him rubics cube in my first attempt to make him calm, and maybe he will listen and strat getting some information. but this is realy a great video to start with, thank you.
I think teaching learners who are dyslexic is difficult to do. Some techniques work well while others don’t. What I do see here is a beautiful little girl who is trying really hard and doing wonderfully. Of course reading, writing and comprehension is very important but please, focus on what the child can do well, encourage that and if possible try and include it in some way to their learning. For example, the the child might really love to draw. How about creating a comic or describe a story with painting? If the child likes football, perhaps the child could spell words by kicking the ball into the right ‘letter net’. I know what you probably think…. Who has the time to set up those sorts of activities….. but the activities should be short, no more than 15 minutes max. The way a learner who has dyslexia learns and progresses is with encouragement, build on previous knowledge and then repeat and repeat the cycle. But remember to focus on what they do well not on what they can’t.
I needed something like this as a kid, heck, even now. I don't have dyslexia, but I do have rhotacism, and someone to help teach me to properly pronounce R would be amazing.
Teaching English vs Teaching vernacular languages are two different things. I am coming from the space of English not being the mother tongue. Children struggle. I just tell (forgive me if it's hurtful here), that English is a Funny Language. And these children immediately perk up. I teach by also breaking down the word and associating it with something the child is familiar with in his/her own language. Then bring it all together. It gets boring to do this all the time. So, sometimes Art, sometimes music, sometimes stories with voice modulation... Also continuously ensuring the child looks at me when I pronounce because the G and B can get mixed. One child mixes I and L and T when they are not in capitals.
Use the first 10-12 ways to say/see/do something.......then think of one more new one. Cause no two kids are gonna get info the same! (Auditory, physical, visual, tactile..,) And it is WORK for both student and teacher. Bless em all .😊😊😊
My daughter is an elementary student with Severe Dyslexia. Our school district received a wonderful teacher one year. The teacher used excerice balls and something else that school year so that the children would not be so bored and focused more on their school work. You know that must kids cannot stay still for a long period of time. It seems that most of our school district has never dealt with Dyslexia nor let alone a child with Severe Dyslexia. Does anyone else have that issue in their school district? If anyone has any teaching suggestions to help teach a child with Severe Dyslexia, I would Greatly Appreciate it.
This is NOTHING like the torturous physical "therapies" I had to endure as a pre-teen in the early 90's... though it still seems quite torturous for her (knowing & likely distracted by the fact that she is stuck there while all her friends are out playing... as it was for me)! In addition, though perhaps whatever it is that indicates, the "disorder" is present in this child, may not be displayed here (I would've thought... Maybe it SHOULD be...); personally, for all I endured, simply as a result of my difficulties with INSTANTLY recognizing the differences between "p" & "q" and "d" & "b"... I believe many are probably far too quick at "diagnosing" children as such. I don't believe I should've been forced into all I was simply due to the aforementioned & a, seemingly, difficiant-ability with regard to a "stuttering" eye-scan. All I needed was to be taught to simply keep track of my progress, down the page, with (1) AN INTEREST in the topic and, thus, a recollection of what was JUST read; & (2) a finger on the page or a memorization of the first word of the line of text I had JUST read so I wouldn't repeat it... should the text be a boring bunch of b***-s***!!! Can anyone else tell me if they were forced to ride a lazy-suzan in their livingroom for a half-an-hour every day? Or, then, once you were good and motion-sick, then force your eyes to make the matching illustrations meet in the middle? I can say this much, for sure... I have become quite adept at those "hidden-image" scramblers and quite "in-control" of making ANY two, "like" and side-by-side images, into one... for my own vision and paralaxic-purposes! As for my abilities with recognizing p/q/d/b... I was a kid. I didn't WANT to. The therapy did NOTHING for that. Time and practice were the ONLY things that helped me there.
Sloughing on the desk is a coping mechanism I was lucky enough my teacher would let me. The thing they don’t tell you is your child I most likely in a fight or flight mode (which as an adult I only realised that’s what I was feeling as a child)
I teach mexican students English and English Reading. I use language for learning and reading mastery direct instruction programs. It works. I myself has dyslexia. The method used in this video goes on and on. Use direct instruction on students with dyslexia. I don't have enough space here to explain why it works.
I like the technique, and I appreciate seeing it in action but I sure wish the little girl were happier. :( My son is severely dyslexic so I am interested in learning as many things as I can to help him. The way she looks makes the activity look not so fun...
Depends on the kid. When I was younger I couldn’t even spell my name, as a child my dyslexia was severe. I was so depressed because I couldn’t do anything in school (my dyslexia effects my ability with numbers too). I got diagnosed at 11, and the name calling from teachers (lazy, careless, unemployable) improved a bit- that’s the most damaging thing as a kid. Ask your kid what their teacher says to them, because I still have low self esteem from that. I only got a few special Ed classes because my school was terrible. But the few ones I did get I was made up, the special Ed teacher loved me because I was so happy to learn it haha. The kid being bored about it might be a good sign, she’s comfortable not amazed someone is finally being nice to her lol
I can tell that you will be a great help to him. I am dyslexic and I wouldn't be anywhere without my mom helping me. Research many different ways to teach him because from my experiences school doesn't really help. Everyone is different so learn how he thinks and learns. (I used the Barton system) One important thing is that make sure he knows he is smart. The thing that might hold him back is the thought that he can't be anything when he grows up. If he feels this way show some famous dyslexics. And tell him it's a super power (because it is). Good luck! And don't give up!
@@mandlin4602 Seems to me, perhaps you were simply in the wrong environment, for your own best potential, in the first-place. I think its simply a matter that not all kids "work" (learn) the same... I hope you were able to, eventually, make the progress you needed working with a teacher whom appreciated you!
They both may have been nervous being video taping. It appeared to me that they did have good rapport but may have been a little stilted to appear ultra serious.
I remember when I had tutoring for my dyslexia , and it was so stressful and made me so angry. This video is great but the memory is just making me so mad
The whole process is massively frustrating. Especially because you are doing something "easy" (from your perspective of other people) and you will keep getting it wrong and have to be corrected. It's like it's designed to be frustrating.
She remembers oi but if it's my daughter she won't remember it even though we repeat the word over and over she tends to forget so quickly and if she does figures it will take a whole 10 minutes
Are there ways for you to break the concepts down further? Start really simple and let your child know how much you appreciate the hard work he/she is doing. Because if your child is dyslexic - or struggling to learn in any way - it really is a lot of hard work. If you're practicing concepts he/she has learned in school but not teaching him/her, you may want to hire a tutor or learn to teach your child on your own. A lot of school systems are using inadequate curriculum for teaching kids to read, and they're not truly learning to decode the language. Whatever you do, don't get mad or blame your child. It really IS too hard for your child, esp. if he/she is dyslexic.
Dyscalculia was a problem for my child as well. I wish i knew more but I tried to apply the Orton Gillingham method to math by starting with the most basic concepts. I used as many of the 5 senses as possible when learning numbers and facts. She bounced on a hopper ball while learning, we wrote in sand, made numbers look like animals and learned which ones faced the sun(which I drew at the right end of the line) and which ones faced the clouds( which I drew at the left end of the line). We made up a chant about the direction they faced. Number playdough mats are fun and free to print. This was a piece of our journey. Hope it helps someone.
Looks like the teacher is not enjoying her job. She seems annoyed by the child. I know schools have to meet certain protocols when it comes to reading, and when the child is behind and suffering from dyslexia, it can be extremely difficult for everyone involved.....but why does is have to be torture for everyone. The child clearly seems to feel patronized, by doing the same thing over and over. The way the teacher words things is almost confusing....why not make it fun. This made me cringe watching it. I really hope my son never had to go through this. This is why we homeschool him now. He is so much happier!! Best decision I ever made!!
I hate to say this but this is the way the standardized testing is its rigorous and it's routine because if the person or the student can follow what the teacher saying the repetition will get it in her brain and she'll understand it one hundred percent that's all she's doing she's not trying to be a sergeant is what she's trying to do so she'll be able to understand words correctly because if you can't lead in this world man you going to have a tough time seriously so all the people that are trying to gang up on this teacher please don't it's just the way the standardized test teach kids all right
...this is hard to watch. I am dyslexic but didn't know until I was an adult. I think this would have killed my spirit...but I also recognize how this would be beneficial. I used to work with children with autism, this reminds me of ABA therapy for children with autism. I hated every second of those sessions and found way more progress if I integrated the concepts into play. I think that this work is important but the method of delivery is awful. Poor girl, poor instructor.
I remember my teachers wouldn’t allow me to go to my special classes. Because they where shit, taught myself in my late teens. The hand gestures is a good idea tho, I try to make things I struggle to remember due to dyslexia. My post code, my phone number. I remember it with a tiny dance in my shoulders and head nodding haha.
You are not right for the job, this is not how you teach a kid how to spell you are rushing this poor child, we need to teach kids in a way that fun not stressful it's like you don't want to be there. I am dyslexic if you where my teacher I would still be dyslexic
That's something I noticed, but then I realized that I have to talk to my dyslexic child this way. It's kind but he needs it to be very blunt and needs to constantly be told again and again. The gentle parenting crap is like too many words and he doesn't hear it. Maybe it actually helps them to use short too the point phrases
I really wish the people with comments about making it more fun for the child would just stop that. Why does everything have to be fun? Why do kids always have to be entertained? No wonder we have 2 or 3 generations of people now who don’t even know how to think critically. Perhaps concentrating is a good thing.

There's GOT to be joy in learning!!
I agree. She seems pretty uninterested. I think a game to teacher her should be involved; she may learn faster because it's more fun.
That's what I was thinking. I tutor kids who struggle to learn to read, but the program I use is more interesting. I also use a lot of encouragement. I'd have been smiling and letting her know how well she's doing (while also gently correcting her if she made mistakes).

They DO need kindness and someone who BELIEVES in them... it begins with a growth mindset.
She kind of rushes the girl to do as she’s asks it seems to me.. As a dyslexic person myself I would be frustrated with how Quick she wants those answers.
True dyslexic learners need processing time.
It's a demonstration of what has been reheased many times.
People can’t teach their own kid with kindness but expect other people who don’t know their kids too. It’s hard as hell not to get frustrated teaching kids that can’t seem to focus and ask the same thing over that they literally just did. But this does give me insight to be more patient.

Yes I agree I think this teacher does a great job. It’s not easy. I probably had to relearn the word “the” 3,000 times.
We all encounter frustration. What worked with kids 1-2-3-5 wont work for kid 4. Take a deep breath and regroup strategy. Even the best teachers need skill and unending patience.😊

She’s so cute and she’s actually doing great! I have a couple students her age with dyslexia, this was very helpful!
Dyslexic people are geniuses. They just need to learn how to control their thoughts, clear the mind and concentrate.
Good job, little girl!
interesting this helps with repetition with the particular sounds in words.
Thank you for this video, it's very insightful.

The teacher used excerice balls and something else that school year so that the children would not be so bored and focused more on their school work. You know that must kids cannot stay still for a long period of time. It seems that most of our school district has never dealt with Dyslexia nor let alone a child with Severe Dyslexia. Does anyone else have that issue in their school district? If anyone has any teaching suggestions to help teach a child with Severe Dyslexia, I would Greatly Appreciate it.
very interesting. very intense, very good.
This is NOTHING like the torturous physical "therapies" I had to endure as a pre-teen in the early 90's... though it still seems quite torturous for her (knowing & likely distracted by the fact that she is stuck there while all her friends are out playing... as it was for me)!
In addition, though perhaps whatever it is that indicates, the "disorder" is present in this child, may not be displayed here (I would've thought... Maybe it SHOULD be...); personally, for all I endured, simply as a result of my difficulties with INSTANTLY recognizing the differences between "p" & "q" and "d" & "b"... I believe many are probably far too quick at "diagnosing" children as such.
I don't believe I should've been forced into all I was simply due to the aforementioned & a, seemingly, difficiant-ability with regard to a "stuttering" eye-scan.
All I needed was to be taught to simply keep track of my progress, down the page, with (1) AN INTEREST in the topic and, thus, a recollection of what was JUST read; & (2) a finger on the page or a memorization of the first word of the line of text I had JUST read so I wouldn't repeat it... should the text be a boring bunch of b***-s***!!!
Can anyone else tell me if they were forced to ride a lazy-suzan in their livingroom for a half-an-hour every day? Or, then, once you were good and motion-sick, then force your eyes to make the matching illustrations meet in the middle?
I can say this much, for sure...
I have become quite adept at those "hidden-image" scramblers and quite "in-control" of making ANY two, "like" and side-by-side images, into one... for my own vision and paralaxic-purposes! As for my abilities with recognizing p/q/d/b... I was a kid. I didn't WANT to. The therapy did NOTHING for that. Time and practice were the ONLY things that helped me there.
I love this
I can feel the hell this kids going through as she non verbally communicated to the woman to stop doing this. Teacher is clueless
Sloughing on the desk is a coping mechanism I was lucky enough my teacher would let me. The thing they don’t tell you is your child I most likely in a fight or flight mode (which as an adult I only realised that’s what I was feeling as a child)
What is the curriculum being used here? Is it available for purchase?
I teach mexican students English and English Reading. I use language for learning and reading mastery direct instruction programs. It works. I myself has dyslexia. The method used in this video goes on and on. Use direct instruction on students with dyslexia. I don't have enough space here to explain why it works.
That look says "you are not inspiring me to learn". When a child is inspired to learn, new things get into the long term memory bank quicker.
I like the technique, and I appreciate seeing it in action but I sure wish the little girl were happier. :( My son is severely dyslexic so I am interested in learning as many things as I can to help him. The way she looks makes the activity look not so fun...
Depends on the kid. When I was younger I couldn’t even spell my name, as a child my dyslexia was severe. I was so depressed because I couldn’t do anything in school (my dyslexia effects my ability with numbers too). I got diagnosed at 11, and the name calling from teachers (lazy, careless, unemployable) improved a bit- that’s the most damaging thing as a kid. Ask your kid what their teacher says to them, because I still have low self esteem from that.
I only got a few special Ed classes because my school was terrible. But the few ones I did get I was made up, the special Ed teacher loved me because I was so happy to learn it haha. The kid being bored about it might be a good sign, she’s comfortable not amazed someone is finally being nice to her lol
I can tell that you will be a great help to him. I am dyslexic and I wouldn't be anywhere without my mom helping me. Research many different ways to teach him because from my experiences school doesn't really help. Everyone is different so learn how he thinks and learns. (I used the Barton system)
One important thing is that make sure he knows he is smart. The thing that might hold him back is the thought that he can't be anything when he grows up. If he feels this way show some famous dyslexics. And tell him it's a super power (because it is). Good luck! And don't give up!
@@kated7 Hi Kate what is the Barton system? I have a child who might needs extra help from me.

Seems to me, perhaps you were simply in the wrong environment, for your own best potential, in the first-place.
I think its simply a matter that not all kids "work" (learn) the same...
I hope you were able to, eventually, make the progress you needed working with a teacher whom appreciated you!
They both may have been nervous being video taping. It appeared to me that they did have good rapport but may have been a little stilted to appear ultra serious.
I remember when I had tutoring for my dyslexia , and it was so stressful and made me so angry. This video is great but the memory is just making me so mad
What part of the tutoring do you find to be a pain ? I'm schooling my child. I'd love to hear your opinions
The whole process is massively frustrating. Especially because you are doing something "easy" (from your perspective of other people) and you will keep getting it wrong and have to be corrected. It's like it's designed to be frustrating.
THANK YOU FOR THIS VERY HELPFUL DEMONSTRATION! I AM GOING TO INTEGRATE IT FOR MY STUDENTS' SESSIONS. 😊
Lol. Chill with the caps XD
What a cool comment. You must be really cool in real life.
Can you provide a update on this student after using this technique?
No, that is confidential.
She remembers oi but if it's my daughter she won't remember it even though we repeat the word over and over she tends to forget so quickly and if she does figures it will take a whole 10 minutes
Have you tried an Outschool teacher? There are specialists of every type in every time zone.
Thank you so much for doing this. I am this website and oh my gosh. This is amazing. I am sixty years old
What is their website?
But my daughter won't remember the word we've being saying for the past 10 minutes
More videos plz
My child is SO resistant to learning because it’s “too hard” it turns practice time into a nightmare. How do we over come this?
Are there ways for you to break the concepts down further? Start really simple and let your child know how much you appreciate the hard work he/she is doing. Because if your child is dyslexic - or struggling to learn in any way - it really is a lot of hard work. If you're practicing concepts he/she has learned in school but not teaching him/her, you may want to hire a tutor or learn to teach your child on your own. A lot of school systems are using inadequate curriculum for teaching kids to read, and they're not truly learning to decode the language. Whatever you do, don't get mad or blame your child. It really IS too hard for your child, esp. if he/she is dyslexic.
Im wondering whether my daughter has dyslexia. This girl is so similar to her!
Can someone tell me how to teach numbers? My daughter is having a hard time connecting the numbers to their value.
Dyscalculia was a problem for my child as well. I wish i knew more but I tried to apply the Orton Gillingham method to math by starting with the most basic concepts. I used as many of the 5 senses as possible when learning numbers and facts. She bounced on a hopper ball while learning, we wrote in sand, made numbers look like animals and learned which ones faced the sun(which I drew at the right end of the line) and which ones faced the clouds( which I drew at the left end of the line). We made up a chant about the direction they faced. Number playdough mats are fun and free to print. This was a piece of our journey. Hope it helps someone.
Also Channies makes a great math paper to help keep columns straight . Sold on Amazon.
Looks like the teacher is not enjoying her job. She seems annoyed by the child. I know schools have to meet certain protocols when it comes to reading, and when the child is behind and suffering from dyslexia, it can be extremely difficult for everyone involved.....but why does is have to be torture for everyone. The child clearly seems to feel patronized, by doing the same thing over and over. The way the teacher words things is almost confusing....why not make it fun. This made me cringe watching it. I really hope my son never had to go through this. This is why we homeschool him now. He is so much happier!! Best decision I ever made!!

I hate to say this but this is the way the standardized testing is its rigorous and it's routine because if the person or the student can follow what the teacher saying the repetition will get it in her brain and she'll understand it one hundred percent that's all she's doing she's not trying to be a sergeant is what she's trying to do so she'll be able to understand words correctly because if you can't lead in this world man you going to have a tough time seriously so all the people that are trying to gang up on this teacher please don't it's just the way the standardized test teach kids all right
This would be amazing if they made it a bit more exiting
...this is hard to watch. I am dyslexic but didn't know until I was an adult. I think this would have killed my spirit...but I also recognize how this would be beneficial.
I used to work with children with autism, this reminds me of ABA therapy for children with autism. I hated every second of those sessions and found way more progress if I integrated the concepts into play. I think that this work is important but the method of delivery is awful. Poor girl, poor instructor.
Poor little girl looks so bored. I remember the feeling.

This is not severe. She is doing well in her age.
@Historia • 17 years ago my daughter is dyslexic in sixth grade. Believe me. This is a normal case
@Historia • 17 years ago at least not a severe one
O I says oi, O I says oi, O I say-
Ohh no
I remember my teachers wouldn’t allow me to go to my special classes. Because they where shit, taught myself in my late teens.
The hand gestures is a good idea tho, I try to make things I struggle to remember due to dyslexia. My post code, my phone number. I remember it with a tiny dance in my shoulders and head nodding haha.
I learned ea in a similar way in the ONE special lesion they let me have lol
She keeps correcting her when she non verbally communicates. Everything is so wrong here. I can't even make it through
That’s a really uncomfortable chair and table for this girl as it’s adult sized. This will make learning more difficult.
If you watch this kids eyes, they're all over the place.
Oi sounds like oi
the technique might be ok, but i did not like the way of teaching
I don’t like the way teacher communicates with the girl. She doesn’t look happy. That’s alarming.
Is she learning phonics? All kids should learn phonics
i would not understand half the intrustions and look lost
oi boi
The little girl definitely does not have severe "Dyslexia".
She's not deaf
oh mb
Has a severe dyslexic. This was not helpful at all. The hand motion makes no damn sense
She does not seem so severe.
You are not right for the job, this is not how you teach a kid how to spell you are rushing this poor child, we need to teach kids in a way that fun not stressful it's like you don't want to be there. I am dyslexic if you where my teacher I would still be dyslexic
This is fake
Would it hurt for the teacher to use kind phrases, like "please", from time to time? She's so brisk when speaking. It's off putting.
Let her do what she needs! She is not being mean or disrespectful. Just firmly stating what she needs and expects from the child.
I’m 13 seconds in and heard her say please already lol
She also tells her good job
That's something I noticed, but then I realized that I have to talk to my dyslexic child this way. It's kind but he needs it to be very blunt and needs to constantly be told again and again. The gentle parenting crap is like too many words and he doesn't hear it. Maybe it actually helps them to use short too the point phrases
Therapy is brisk.
