Programming for Teachers of Dyslexics.

The article focuses on the importance of programming for teachers of dyslexics. Carefully structured programming for the teacher is found to be the most essential element to enable dyslexic students to master confident literacy. The dyslexics are very often imaginative, creative, intuitive thinkers. Their talents are predominantly right-brained, 3-dimensional, real-world oriented and they are less able to sort out and retain information processed through the two-dimensional symbols of language. Teachers can succeed in reaching every kind of learner if they utilize multisensory techniques in teaching synthesizing phonics and in presenting all new learning; deliberately inject logic and sequence; lead students to discover prevailing concepts through Socratic questioning; and coach, foster, and encourage confidence. It is important to sequence, symbolize, and post precise steps for every major process and to guide students to habituate each step in exact order until the reflex becomes a substantial tool for daily use.
