A New
Beginning
When the world says, “Give up,” Hope whispers, “Try it one more time.”~ Author Unknown
I had lost
my blog title and could not renew my web-log. My previous web-log was at: www.parentingdyslexia.com. However, my son managed to retrieve
the blog posts and we have opened a new account. I will post some of the
previous posts as we go along.
I have
decided to write again as I am currently teaching a ‘learning disabled’ kid ( I
don’t like that term but…) and I see the same pattern as in all my previous
students. I think ‘Disengaged learners’ would be a better description of these
students. They shut-down when things taught to them do not make sense to
them.
I am
writing again because I have read research reports that say that there has been
a 75% reduction in students classified as reading disabled after research based
approaches have been introduced.
My
passion for this subject is from the fact that all my ‘dyslexic’ students are
able to read well after about 3 months of coaching on a one on one basis. All
these students enjoy reading after they have learnt to read. In fact they look
forward to coming to my tuition class because their self esteem had returned.
They are told, by me, again and again that it is not they who are stupid but
the ‘English Language’.
I
strongly believe that most reading problems are preventable. I am enthusiastic
again after seeing the parents of the current kid I am teaching getting so
excited that their son can now read.
I hope
that parents with similar kids can benefit from this web-log.
