In an
article on Star Online on 4.10.2018; The National Organisation for Dyslexia
Malaysia had said the following:
It has also been training teachers to teach language through the
phonetic approach, assessing and teaching children who are dyslexic, and counselling parents.
“Dyslexia
is a state in which one finds it extremely challenging to bring a sound to the
written letter. One has difficulty in reading, writing and spelling.
“Therefore, sounds of the language or phonics are taught and not
the letter names as in the traditional method.
“Where phonics does not work all the way, as in teaching English,
the whole word approach is used,” said NOD president Dr Mullai A. Ramaiah.
Dr Mullai said dyslexia was often diagnosed as a disorder.
