How Teachers Can Help
Small, thoughtful accommodations meet students where they are.
Give extra time on reading and writing so students aren't racing the clock.
Use multi-sensory teaching, pairing sounds, sight, and movement when learning letters.
Avoid surprise read-aloud; let students volunteer instead of being called on cold.
Break multi-step directions into one clear step at a time.
Offer audiobooks and text-to-speech so decoding doesn't block comprehension.
Remember: dyslexia does not mean lower intelligence.
