Dollop of Dyslexia
Praise Gives Power Criticism Kills
A person with dyslexia needs a boost to their self-confidence before they can learn to overcome their difficulties. They have already experienced failure and deep down they often don’t believe they are capable of learning.
To re-establish self-confidence provide the opportunity to succeed and give praise for small achievements.
Don’t ask person with dyslexia to read aloud
Words are likely to be misread or skipped, causing embarrassment.

ATTENDANCE POLICY
Every minute Counts!
