Helping dyslexic child in subjects (science)

Kids and Teens with Dyslexia and Other Learning Differences May
Struggle with Science. It is also very important to understand that every
dyslexic child is different, so what works for one child may not work for
another.

Science textbooks and materials can be complex and difficult for

children with dyslexia to read and understand. Simplify the language and
break down the concepts into smaller, more manageable pieces. For
example, if you are teaching a child about the solar system, you could
start by teaching them about the sun and then move on to the planets.
We can also use simple language For example, instead of saying "the
process of photosynthesis," you could say "how plants make food."

Hands-on-activities:

 Start with simple, concrete concepts. Dyslexic students often learn

best by starting with concrete, hands-on experiences. For example,
if you're teaching about the water cycle, you could start by having
students observe a water fountain or a water cycle model. We
could also use pictures, diagrams, or models to help students
understand the different parts of a plant or the process of
photosynthesis or show actual magnet to teach them how magnet
works.

These students often have difficulties learning subtle differences

between sounds — such as long and short vowels — and learning sound
letter associations. This causes difficulties in reading and spelling.

 Use multisensory techniques:

These techniques engage multiple senses, which helps dyslexic children

learn more effectively. Like you could use blocks to represent letters,
or pictures to represent words. Games are a fun way to learn, we can
also use many types of games to make student learn for example,
memory games, make words with letters or we can use real-world
objects to represent letters, words, or concepts. For example, you could
use a real apple to represent the word "apple."

 Use visual aids:

Visual aids can be a great way to help dyslexic children learn
English. For example, you could color code the letters of the
alphabet or the parts of speech. This can help dyslexic children to
visualize and Use gestures and actions to help children remember
information. For example, you could make a gesture for the word
 "up" or act out the action of "jumping" to help children remember
these words.

Extra care tips for dyslexia child

 Educate yourself: Learn as much as you can about dyslexia so that you can
understand your child's learning challenges and how to best support them.
There are many resources available online and in libraries, and you can also
talk to your child's teachers or other professionals who work with children
with dyslexia.
 Advocate for your child: Make sure that your child's teachers and other
school staff are aware of their dyslexia and that they are providing the
appropriate accommodations and supports. You may also need to advocate
for your child outside of school, such as when they are applying for jobs or
college.
 Provide a supportive environment: Create a home environment where
your child feels comfortable and supported. This means providing them with
plenty of opportunities to read and write, as well as using multisensory
activities to help them learn. It is also important to be patient and
understanding, and to avoid comparing your child to other children who do
not have dyslexia.
 Use multisensory activities: Multisensory activities can help children with
dyslexia learn more effectively. These activities involve using more than one
sense, such as seeing, hearing, touching, and moving. For example, you
could help your child learn the alphabet by using flashcards, singing songs,
and playing with alphabet blocks.
 Encourage reading: Reading is an essential skill for all children, but it can
be especially challenging for children with dyslexia. Make sure that your
child has plenty of opportunities to read, and that they are reading books that
they are interested in. You can also help your child by reading to them every
day and by talking about what they are reading.
