Difficult tasks for a parent to
teach their children
if you are right-handed, and your child is left-handed,
you will always FACE him when showing them, but if you
are both right-handed (or left-handed) you must stand
BEHIND them.
•fastening shoes
-use a piece of white cord, half of which I dye red, and
place the red on the right
•fastening buttons
-always start at the bottom, where you can see what
you are doing
30. Dyslexia case Gloria Fuertes
Talking to teachers
• Use pictures and memory hooks
• Use the labels 'vowels' and 'consonants', and teach
about the jobs they do.
• Teach joined-up writing from an early stage
• Let children develop their own word dictionary where
they can practice difficult, new or irregular words.
• Talk about letters, words and stories to create an interest
• Use technical aids to individualize work - tape recorder
and earphones, computers etc.
• Play games to reinforce learning.
• Give as much practice in reading, writing and spelling as
possible to develop automatic skills, and remember -
dyslexic children need more practice than most children.
