Advice to parents of children with dyslexia

After nearly three months of attending reading counseling activities with my children, I noticed that Jerry was particularly caring. He remembered that he once saw a dead snake in OCT Square, not only for his mother, but also for animals in nature. He remembered seeing it when he was a child, and even cried when he was playing with a small snake. He is also a very creative person. He likes Lego and enjoys it. He was also selected to participate in the international competition held in Singapore. He is also a good boy with willingness and enthusiasm to learn. With the approach of the final exam, he especially asked for strengthening the counseling of weak languages. Every time he reads an article aloud, he is implying that I will read it better next time. He is really not a lazy boy. He spends almost all his time after school and often does a lot of Chinese spelling homework in the evening.

? However, on the evening of June 8, 20 18, when the teacher naturally gave feedback to his parents about his recent study, for example, it was inefficient to write homework at night, and writing a word was usually accompanied by many small moves; Writing Chinese is sloppy, and the structure and stroke order are often wrong; When copying Chinese characters, you can't recognize the structure, you can only read and write strokes, and often the words you write will be reversed, or there are fewer strokes. Moreover, the pencil he used for homework, because he poked it everywhere unconsciously, sharpened it many times with a pencil sharpener in one night. I sincerely and truly reflected these symptoms to his parents. At the same time, I emphasized that children want to learn, but the learning efficiency is not high. Sometimes they can only do two of the five pages of homework in one night. I found the child lying on the sofa, his face buried in his arms, crying silently. Then when we went into the room to continue our homework, I also gave a lot of psychological counseling and encouragement, and even apologized to help him adjust his mood.

? I know, I accidentally hurt the child's self-esteem, even in the face of his parents. Although I usually take care of her self-confidence, when her relatives call him STUPIT, I will encourage him to say that you are really not stupid, but you don't understand it yet and need more time and patience. Miss Jane is here to help you.

After I came back, I did in-depth data collection and research on children suspected of dyslexia.

Children with dyslexia have special difficulties in memorizing and writing words, especially short-term memory, and are often busy until tomorrow after reviewing today.

Even after reviewing, the results of dictation and examination are still very poor.
