Friday, September 6, 13
Famous Dyslexics
Friday, September 6, 13
What will help?
Sometimes, you’ll need extra time for tests
You can ask the teacher to explain the
directions on a test
Reading out-loud is good!
If you read something that sounds unfamiliar,
ask an adult if that’s a real word
Use software to write what you say
Friday, September 6, 13
Am I smart or dumb?
You’re SMART!
Having dyslexia makes it difficult to take
information in, but once it’s in your brain you
have a great memory
You learn things differently. That makes it
hard right now, but gives you a great
advantage when you’re done with school.
Friday, September 6, 13
It’s so frustrating!
Friday, September 6, 13
When things are hard
Listen to an audio-book or watch the movie
Doodle while you listen to keep focused
Do a team sport and have fun outside school
Remember, you will grow up and be a
successful adult!
Friday, September 6, 13
Why me?
Dyslexia is genetic and inherited from your
parents
Your mom and dad both have some traits of
dyslexia
Ask them how they learned to compensate for
dyslexia and what they think the benefits are
now that they are adults
Friday, September 6, 13
So, I have
dyslexia
but...
Friday, September 6, 13
I’ll still have fun!
Friday, September 6, 13
