Teaching my students to read can be difficult because it requires rewiring of the brain. Dyslexia intervention requires a systematic, explicit and multi-sensory approach to teaching students how to read. They need tools to help them be successful and boost confidence. These materials and resources support the learning process by making learning more meaningful and engaging. The finger spacers, pencil grips, and triangular pencils will help my students who also struggle with dysgraphia. Dysgraphia and dyslexia are sometimes comorbid and many students need this extra support when learning how to write. The highlight bookmark will help my students focus and concentrate on the words they are reading at that time, helping them to narrow in on specific words and not overwhelming them with too much text on a page. The post-it arrows support my students when reading passages in a question and answer format. The different colors help them in answering specific questions supporting them in their organizational skills. The whisper phones help them in hearing themselves read quietly to themselves. Many of my students also struggle with focus and maintaining organization. A calm, organized classroom environment helps the students maintain focus while providing models of lifelong strategies they can utilize throughout their lives. The comfy rug and flex seating create a warm, positive reading environment relaxing them because reading is stressful for them. This helps improve the executive functioning of the brain while improving their overall mood and outlook on learning. Many of the supplies I have asked for are tools to help students learn in their best work environment that will help support the dyslexia therapy I am providing in the public school setting. Thank you so much for your support and contributions. This will help change lives.
