Specialized Dyslexia Support - R.E.A.D.S.^TM

St. Louis Learning is now providing programming for students with Dyslexia. We have found that traditional phonics programs don’t meet the needs of these kids, and a more multi-sensory approach is required for them to see the connections between reading and writing. Our R.E.A.D.S.^TM program is Orton-Gillingham based and is designed to teach students with Dyslexia and other reading disabilities. Using this system, we start out by helping students separate the sounds of words and gradually introduce spelling rules that make sense and are easy to remember.  We have already seen students significantly improve their reading and spelling through this systematic approach. 

 

At St. Louis Learning we believe that Dyslexia is a learning difference that enables these students to see differently than the average student – their thinking is creative and multi-dimensional. Giving these kids the ability to embrace the way that their minds learn differently empowers them to pursue some academic challenges they may have formerly run from. If your child has had reading intervention and is still experiencing difficulty in spelling and reading, it is possible that Dyslexia is the problem. Below you will find more detailed information about some warning signs for Dyslexia. 

Warning Signs of Dyslexia
In Preschool:  delayed speech, mixing up the sounds and syllables in long words, chronic ear infections, severe reactions to childhood illnesses, constant confusion of left versus right, late establishing a dominant hand, difficulty learning to tie shoes, trouble memorizing their address, phone number, or the alphabet; can’t create words that rhyme; a close relative with dyslexia.          

In Elementary School: dysgraphia (slow, non-automatic handwriting that is difficult to read), letter or number reversals continuing past the end of first grade, extreme difficulty learning cursive, slow, choppy, inaccurate reading: (guesses based on shape or context, skips or misreads prepositions (at, to, of), ignores suffixes, can’t sound out unknown words), terrible spelling, often can’t remember sight words (they, were, does)or homonyms (their, they’re, and there), difficulty telling time with a clock with hands, trouble with math (memorizing multiplication tables, memorizing a sequence of steps, directionality), when speaking, difficulty finding the correct word, lots of “whatyamacallits” and “thingies”, common sayings come out slightly twisted, extremely messy bedroom, backpack, and desk, dreads going to school, complains of stomach aches or headaches, may have nightmares about school.            

In High School: all of the above symptoms plus: limited vocabulary, extremely poor written expression - large discrepancy between verbal skills and written compositions, unable to master a foreign language, difficulty reading printed music, poor grades in many classes, may drop out of high school.

In Adults: education history similar to above, plus: slow reader, may have to read a page 2 or 3 times to understand it, terrible speller, difficulty putting thoughts onto paper - dreads writing memos or letters, still has difficulty with right versus left, often gets lost, even in a familiar city, sometimes confuses b and d, especially when tired or sick.
