Noah embodies the traits of resilience and perseverance!

Listen as he reflects on his academic experiences. Initial discouragement when he began in the learning support program in his school at which time his peers would judge him and equate intellectual ability with a learning profile that required accommodations.

His self-esteem took a hit.

Then in grade 10, things began to click and Noah took off academically!

For many students with dyslexia the school year and final exams

are a long and gruelling process…

They can be totally drained at this point in the year and really need the summer vacation time to decompress and to recharge for the next academic year.

Sending a student like this directly into summer school for extra math help is often completely ineffective.

They are exhausted mentally, physically and emotionally and require this downtime to rest and replenish.

Any material presented at this time may not “upload” and retention may be an issue into the next school year.

A more effective approach, is to begin working a week or two before the start of the next grade, when students are refreshed and better able to focus and retain the content. Previewing material is also extremely effective at this time for preparing students to have successful academic outcomes in the upcoming year.

School is failing our dyslexic students

There is a lack of training and information about dyslexia available for teachers, to help them best reach and teach every student in the classroom, especially the most vulnerable

When given appropriate and effective tools, dedicated teachers can support their dyslexic students and lead them to academic success!

This is life changing work for both teachers and their students!

There is some debate and discussion on social media about whether dyslexia is actually a superpower.

And if it is, why doesn’t it always show up as such?

There are many factors leading to these conclusions, but the main one, is that the traditional school system is not set up in such a way as to recognize dyslexic thinking and allow students to shine their dyslexic brilliance.

How can we help change this?

Let’s work together to create a better future for dyslexic students so that they can achieve academic excellence and success!
