My Dyslexic Valentine
During this fabulous month of love we want to remind teachers, parents, and students why they should love their student’s dyslexic brain!
Dyslexic brains tend to be:
· Very good at 3-Dimensional spatial reasoning and mechanical ability.
· Strong in perceiving relationships like analogies, metaphors, differences, and similarities.
· Good at remembering personal experiences and understanding abstract information by using specific examples.
· Good at recognizing complex and changing patterns.
· Highly creative
High five dyslexic brain, thanks for making us so unique!
