Dyslexia – what is it?
Dyslexia is a learning difficulty marked by the impairment of the ability to recognise and comprehend written words.

Associated learning difficulties are with spelling, reading, sequencing, comprehension, remembering, telling the time, left & right, confusion, and sometimes maths. Feelings of disorientation; being unable to organise time or follow a set of instructions sequentially, and sometimes low self-confidence.

Reading is the understanding of symbols (letters) in order to transfer an idea or story from one person to another. This is the exchange of ideas and the communication on which societies are based; therefore it is expected of us to communicate.

In today’s society the ability to read and write is fundamental for every aspect of our lives. For instance, internet shopping, sending and receiving text messages, e-mails, instructions on a product or game, understanding political, legal and social matters.

Social interaction and communication are important. So having difficulty in expressing oneself clearly or not fully understanding, can lead to difficulties in the classroom, in the work place or in a social context.

The effect of these difficulties can effect a persons self-confidence and students with dyslexia often feel ‘’dumb’ and misunderstood which is reflected in their behaviour.

At Learn How To Learn we understand that no two dyslexics are the same. Each person has an individual learning profile and develops their own strategy for spelling, reading, sequencing and writing. The Learn How To Learn Programme enables children to realise their full potential. Results are seen immediately and reinforced and extended through practising and developing skills at home for twenty-eight consecutive days when the new strategies become automatic.

Outcomes are that the standard of reading and comprehension improves. Students develop a new strategy for learning to spell which leads to the ability to remember spellings and by being able to fully understand what is read, the pleasure of reading is discovered and school life becomes easier. Handwriting improves where handwriting was previously poor. The student develops the ability to remember sets of instructions or activities.

Confidence and self- esteem are restored as the challenges of day to day life are met with new skills, and life becomes enjoyable.
