There are many misconceptions surrounding dyslexia. Bilingual dyslexics can be successful and bi-literate.
Bilingualism is the ability to speak two languages. It may be acquired early by children in regions where most adults speak two languages or when a child is raised with parents or parents who use their L1 at home.
✅Research findings prove that people with dyslexia who are bilingual outperform their monolingual peers. However, they experience difficulties in their schooling.
✅Bilingual dyslexic students can experience different severities depending on the language systems. A child whose first language is Italian will have mild deficits with their L1, whereas they will struggle with English or French because those languages are more phonetically complex.
If you are a parent or an educator, please bear it in mind: Dyslexic Bilingual students should be taught to read and write in their L1 because this will give them strong foundations in L2, and yes, they can be successful and bi-literate !
