Dyslexia in the Primary Classroom

Dyslexia, which requires a specialized approach to teaching, only becomes a disability if it goes unrecognized. This comprehensive program describes the symptoms, stresses the vital need for early identification, suggests classroom strategies for effective teaching, and reinforces the importance of parental involvement. Assessment tools such as the Aston Index, DEST (Dyslexia Early Screening Test), and CoPS, a computer-based cognitive profiling system, are demonstrated. A computer simulation of how text appears to people with dyslexia is included as well, along with excerpts from an award-winning short film called Words of Deception, a college project that depicts life with this learning disorder. A BBC Production. (40 minutes)
