I always work hard to provide content that is student-friendly. It is logical that I, therefore, try hard to provide dyslexia-friendly content:
-
The text is in the font Verdana.
-
All pages have the appropriate background colour
-
The content is, as far as possible, cut into small...chunks.
This is where I am with Dyslexia (thanks Janice Rolnick):
-
Dyslexia is a language-based specific learning disability.
-
The degree of difficulty with reading, spelling and writing varies from person to person.
-
It is considered a ‘learning difference’ rather than a ‘difficulty’.
-
Dyslexia is not due to the lack of either intelligence or the desire to learn.
This is where I am with students who have Dyslexia:
-
Students with dyslexia learn in a different way from others.
-
Students with dyslexia have a range of strengths, including creativity and thinking outside the box, which can lead to very original thought.
-
The experience of dyslexia is different for each person.
This is where I am teaching regarding students with Dyslexia:
-
With appropriate teaching methods, strategies and adjustments, students with dyslexia are able to learn very successfully.
-
We all have our own challenges and life is about finding a way forward and not letting ourselves be defined by our limitations, but by what we do.
