Dyslexic actor Henry Winkler, who played the Fonz in the celebrated TV series Happy Days, said, “To me, reading looked like a magic trick, and I wasn’t in on the secret.” Teachers who have been trained by IMSLEC, ALTA, AOGPE, and Wilson Language Training are not magicians, they are trained, knowledgeable professionals that get results.
Preparing to read is the most important learning task for preschool age children. Yet a certain percent of children miss this critical development phase and are at risk for reading failure. Early screening can identify children at risk for dyslexia by assessing their prereading skills.
Identification of a reading disorder and delivery of remedial instruction become more difficult as students age. Accumulated frustration and failures lead to poor self esteem.
Students who have reached college age without reading and writing skills face enormous challenges. Motivated students may attempt to “power through” this stressful period, but without well developed reading and writing skills, most will falter and many will fail or withdraw.
Many adults in our society have gone through life not knowing what causes their learning challenges. Besides difficulty with reading, writing, spelling and education in general, adult dyslexics often have acquired coping mechanisms which may help or hinder them in society.
