10. Dyslexia Research
• A decade ago, Shaywitz, author of Overcoming
Dyslexia, demonstrated in her research that fully
one in five students has the condition, with males
and females sharing it in roughly equal numbers.
Dyslexia makes it difficult for a person to retrieve
or correctly order the basic sounds, or
"phonemes," of spoken language (like the "k,"
"aah," and "t" sounds that make the word cat, for
example).
11. Does your student need help writing?
1) Does the child need physical help
with the act of writing
2) Does the child need help with idea
acquisition?
3) Does the Child need help with
“getting ideas down on paper?”
