Adults With Dyslexia: Learning Styles
Adults With Dyslexia: Learning Styles Learning should be structured and multisensory. This bypasses
the organizational difficulties in the brain; integrating all
learning pathways helps to ensure automatic memory.
Overlearning is vital-practice until automatic. Adults with
dyslexia often have short-term memory difficulties.
Use a variety of ways to practice spelling. Let adults choose
the ones that work the best for them.
Work on one problem at a time.
Be aware that adults with dyslexia often "overload." Tune
into this.
Use right brain skills-imagination, patterns, color and visualization-to
augment learning.
New information needs to be given more than once, even if the
adult appears to understand it.
Dyslexic adults often find it difficult to generalize.
Develop a holistic approach-another right brain strength. Adults
with dyslexia like to know the whole and then are happy to
tackle the part.
Work to the adult's strength-avoid reinforcing failure. Don't
do dictation of words he or she can't spell.
Remind the dyslexic adult, if necessary, of a spelling
strategy for as long as he or she needs you to.
Give time for the student to organize his or her thoughts.
Encourage the use of technology-spelling dictionaries, memory
aids, etc.
Present learning materials in a variety of ways.
Adults who are dyslexic need to concentrate much more than
other students because of their learning disability.
By recognizing and discussing the nature of their disability
with them, we can enable adults with dyslexia to come to terms
with their disability, put it in perspective and take control
of their learning.
