A learning disorder that would impact the language arts classroom would be dyslexia. My math teacher in 7th grade had dyslexia and she would mess up numbers and words all the time on the board.
Dyslexia: a general term for disorders that involve difficulty in learning to read or interpret words, letters, and other symbols, but that do not affect general intelligence.
- Difficulty reading, including reading aloud
- Slow and labor-intensive reading and writing
- Problems spelling
- Avoiding activities that involve reading
- Mispronouncing names or words, or problems retrieving words
Three strategies that I can use for dyslexic students are:
1.) Multi-sensory learning
2.) Audio books
3.) Line readers
