It's tghe people who don't know much about dyslexia who always say this. The people who do know more about it wonder why it's not the standard teaching method in schools
Dyslexia friendly teaching has to use more of the mind to learn things, spellings for example you have to break it down and have stories made up about it, mind maps to plan english things (these are not the same as brainstorms/spidergrams but similarish)etc. They're way more interesting than just learning by rote!
For many dyslexics, this is the only way that they can learn. For all other pupils, it's a better way to learn.
Dyslexics CAN learn dyslexia friendly teaching. Non dyslexics can learn it better.
Why on earth don't we teach dyslexia friendly methods in school?

That sounds like a great way to learn how to read and write.In fact,some of us on this site could use a few pointers there.@ 5:40 PM EST on Wednesday, July 25, 2007, meandmyimaginaryfriend said:
it just requires the teachers to be trained in it. But they have to pay for teacher training, and it has better concentration and behaviour from the class so you'd think they'd weigh up the odds and try it. It can even help the teachers...@ 4:19 PM EST on Wednesday, July 25, 2007, MissBones said:
Yeah it sounds like a brilliant idea. but I think it isn't taught because it's more expensive, atleast that's what they say here..@ 12:33 PM EST on Wednesday, July 25, 2007, xbusyxreadingx said:
