Did you know that 20% of our population has dyslexia to some degree? Some of the most creative, intelligent, and successful people I know are dyslexic.Here's some food for thought, of that 20% of our population, several are undiagnosed and don't know why they struggle in the areas of reading, writing, and spelling. Most of the time they think they are lazy or they aren't bright compared to others around them.
The reality is they have great potential and just need to be taught using a different approach. What if every school recognized this, and every teacher knew the appropriate ways to support them? Wouldn't that be incredible?So, if you see a child struggling in these areas, look and point out their strengths, unlock their potential, and all the amazing things they are able to do.
