Children with learning challenges face a daunting future as the slowdown in COVID infections now raises the question of how they will recuperate once the pandemic was over.
“As it is, without COVID-19 we already have children falling between the cracks, and that is a worry,” Malta Dyslexia Association (MDA) secretary Dr Ruth Falzon told MaltaToday.

Dyslexia: News from the web:
Research suggests as many as 17% of children are affected by dyslexia, which hinders one’s ability to recognize and decode words, as well as the sounds associated with printed language. Spotting and addressing dyslexia is as essential to a young student’s learning and development as is identifying those students who are nearsighted or need help hearing.
“Despite the number of students impacted, the considerable advances in research, and the increase in dyslexia-related legislation in the U.S., early identification and targeted education of students with dyslexia in public schools remains a challenge,”

Recently GCHQ shared that apprentices on their work scheme are four times more likely to have dyslexia than those on other organisations’ programmes.

A student who could not read until he was aged 13 has graduated from university with a first class degree and is now studying for a PhD.
William Carter, 22, has severe dyslexia and dyspraxia and was mocked because he could not read at primary school.
His grades improved rapidly after his dyslexia was diagnosed.
Mr Carter achieved a degree in politics and international relations from the University of Bristol and is now studying in the United States.
“Learning how to read and write made the world more intelligible to me and, ultimately, made me more intelligible to the world,” he said.
“Fundamentally, dyslexia made me who I am today.”

Colorado education officials were set to select five elementary schools for the one-year, $92,000 pilot program in late April. By the application deadline Friday, just five schools had applied, and state education officials are still determining if they all meet participation requirements.
New dyslexia screening efforts in Denver and Boulder — plus the possible state pilot — come amid a nationwide push to boost reading achievement, including by paying closer attention to students with reading-related disabilities. Experts estimate that dyslexia affects 5% to 15% of the population. In Colorado, that could be more than 100,000 school-age children.

Fascinatingly, some studies have found that learning the written language and alphabet of the Ancient Greeks can spur changes in brain development that help stave off the onset of dyslexia. And if the symptoms of dyslexia are already being experienced, learning the Ancient Greek alphabet can actually reduce their intensity or eliminate them altogether.

Havas Lynx Group has developed Andi Goes with a dual purpose – a book that for children acts as a fable to encourage them to embrace what makes them different, whilst for parents, the book helps to spot any possible early signs of the condition.
The book is written to include key words and phrases that may give an indication of dyslexia, such as using Fry’s first 100 words (the main words a child should read by the age of six) and in the parents’ guide at the rear of the book, there are tips on how to spot things like corrective partial decoding (where a child who finds it hard to visualise a word correctly – has a stab at it, a bit like predictive text). Signs within the guide are not meant to act as a diagnosis in themselves but are simply there to inform parents, to help them gain the confidence to push further, get professional help and, if needed, a diagnosis. Seeing these signs early is vital to the future of the child’s development and education.

If you know a lot about dyslexia, you already know a lot about dyscalculia. Both learning disabilities are similar but still very different. The knowledge about Dyscalculia though forms a great basis to branch out and start learning about dyscalculia too, so you can also help children who have dyscalculia. Dr Schreuder has an online Dyscalculia Tutor Training that can help you get there in about 3-6 months, all online in your own pace.

See the review of the online program to work with students who have dyslexia.
Reading Horizons is a comprehensive, interactive reading system based on the principles of Orton-Gillingham. Simply put, Orton-Gillingham takes the idea of “sounding things out” to the next level. Rather than just teaching students to break down words into their sounds, it teaches the sounds in a specific order and trains the brain to recognize them.

The Texas Education Agency has bought a service from a company but not everyone is happy with it yet.
The company began charging the state for $410,000 a month in October for the online platform before any students signed up for it and before any school districts were asked to participate. Critics say too few children are getting help for too great a cost, especially because districts must still pay their instructors to work with students using the platform.
Many Texas school districts do not use the curriculum offered by the service, which advocates say could make them less likely to sign up for it.
