#15 “Dyslexic Advantage” Ch.2. Dyslexia from two perspectives” Review of Chapter 2. Oct 23, 2018

Show notes

“We are claiming that certain talents are as much a part of dyslexic processing as are the better known challenges- that the strengths and the challenges are simply two sides of the same neurological coin.” P.17 The Dyslexic Advantage. Eide 2011. Great little intro chapter where they take a Grandpa, Mum and grandchild and show how you could view their Dyslexia story so differently depending on the perspective you take. Firstly from the narrow one which most children and dyslexia is viewed through. Then through a second wider view of dyslexia. The difference is surprising. I do a quick summary of the chapter. Share some quotes and my personal reflections and lessons learnt.

#14 Special Education Needs Coordinator Insights from 10 years in a school. Helen Wells. Oct 22, 2018

Show notes

Helen Wells shares her perspective as a Special Education Needs Coordiator in a school for 10 years. Shares her story of how she began as an art school graduate and became a primary school teacher by primarily learning on the job with a special program for teachers. How her head teacher inspired, and pushed her, into the job of SENCO in the school. Her rapid learning of the field and how she has found the key thing is managing the communications between the family and school well. How she found ways to help the child and family feel heard and understood. Her reflections on those 10 years for teachers and tutors who work with the tension of providing tailored solutions within school restrictions. Also advice to parents navigating it. She discusses the success of the Leeds Dyslexia Festival a month ago with 1000 people attending. All volunteers and 8 months of planning from a standing start! She goes on to describe how she learns so much stuff so effectively via audio and podcasts as a working mum. Her view on how note-taking is taught in schools and what it takes to learn an effective way, including her views on mindmapping and why it features in nearly every report recommendation. There’s a lovely moment when she shares her advice to her self as a teenager and as a parent. Finishing with a whole range of very useful advice for organising and planning as a dyslexic and parent of a dyslexic. Including, apps and lots of great stuff. Hope you enjoy.

#13 "Dyslexic Advantage" Ch 1. Book review Journey Begins! DxA #1 Chapter 1. Oct 19, 2018

Show notes

"The Dyslexic Advantage" is one of the most highly recommended books on dyslexia for good reason. The team and I are going to go on a journey where we read it, map it, review it and draw out practical applications chapter by chapter, incorporating your questions and comments too. It's a treasure trove of 26 chapters packed with helpful info for parents and tutors. I’m recording this for people to listen on the go via our podcast. “Dyslexia Explored”. This is Chapter 1. My Favorite quote of the chapter: “Unlike most books on dyslexia this book (The Dyslexic Advantage) won’t focus solely on making individuals with dyslexia into better readers. Instead, it will focus on helping them become better at “being dyslexic”. “ (P xvii) I hope to be able to do one Chapter each week. The format will be: 1. Summary of the chapter (3 min) 2. Favorite quotes (5 min) 3. Expand a theme or two (5 min) 4. Reflect on what I've learnt and experienced from the chapter. 5. Practical applications for parents and tutors of teens. The book reference if you want to buy it is: "The Dyslexic Advantage. Dr Brock L. Eide & Dr Fernette F. Eide."
