Dyslexia
is a learning disorder. So, unlike a dyslexia disease which can be caused by
bacteria, a virus or infection. Before the diagnosis, many older Dyslexic who
are difficult to understand. Dyslexia is no relation to the intelligence of the
child. That is usually seen is there are subjects in school that doesn't get
good grades. But good or whether the value can not be a benchmark of his
intelligence. You need to know that children of dyslexia is not the children
who are lazy, stupid, or crazy. They are the children of the Artless that has
buried talent that may not be owned by the other kids. They were not the child
who is not normal, but they are children with disabilities in terms of writing
and reading.

"Dyslexia" |
People
with dyslexia have problems with reading comprehension and writing. Because
reading is one of the important elements in the learning, dyslexic children
hard at mastering the basic skills of reading and it greatly affects its value.
That's roughly the State of children suffering from specific learning disorder
dyslexia. That's roughly the State of children suffering from specific learning
disorder dyslexia. They get caught up in a world full of writings that are not
understood. Well for the term dyslexia dyslexia itself that refer to disorders
of reading that is owned by someone, such as difficulty reading, read,
understand the difficulty to distinguish letters like b, d, q, p, v, u, n, and
others. Another case with children with symptoms of a slow learner, a child who
was diagnosed with dyslexia IQ should have average or above average.
Once
again the children who suffer from dyslexia also have problems digesting the
information submitted in the form of writing. Most of them are difficulty in
pronouncing a word or sound that is compiled from a few specific letters such
as the ones mentioned above. So you have to perhatiakan it and understand is if
your child suffers from dyslexia in training them to learn we have to be
careful not to criticize too much, why? because children who suffer from
dyslexia are prone to have motivation and self-esteem are falling down or easy.
When the child begins to realize she has difficulty in reading and he has
remained distant from his friends, he would have hated the lessons in reading
and simply gave up the (strike) when facing difficult words.
To
overcome the lazy action reading this can be redirected by way of learning to
read through his or her talents. For example, a child who has an interest in
music. We can teach reading basic tones such as do, re, mi, etc. Or it might
have an interest in cooking, there we can teach reading the recipe and told her
to cook. From there we will be able to see the extent to which children's
ability of understanding and the understanding of the readings.
Back
again the way teaches dyslexic children on learning that if your child is in
the stage of yet can tell which letters like b and d, then a way of teaching
that needs to be done is learn the letter one by one. For example, focus on
teaching time at letter b. Write the letter b in the large size and then ask
the child to say while his hands follow
the letter b or create a certain code by hand. Continuous practise until she
can understand and after that start go to the letter d.
According to Baumer (1996)
there are some children who can already read but he had a problem with
understanding (comprehension). Here are some ways of teaching you can do if
your child is weak, understanding:
1.
Choose an interesting story on the level where 98% he could understand the
words in the story. Ask him to recite it out loud and say to us what he has
read.
2.
If a child can't do this, ask it to read silently, stopping every paragraph and
tell us what she had read.
3.
When developing the understanding of it, add the number of paragraphs that he
read until he could read and understand the entire page.
4.
To assist in the understanding of it, you can give you referrals: what do you
think the perceived the figure? What will happen next? How does the story end?
There
are two ways to teach a child to read the words: see and hear the words one by
one. Read the story with the child proved quite effective because we can
directly cross-check direct understanding. For example, when the child does not
understand the word ' came up, we could have said ' rises ' to ask ' when the
morning sun comes up or disappearing? ' and then when the child answered ' come
up ' we make it clear that that is what is meant by ' publication '. Or make
the printed word in large sizes, such as for example ' book ', after that we
say ' books ', and then ask the children to repeat what we say that ' the book
'. Show these words constantly, then add a few words he already know, until he
can recognize and pronounce it right away as soon as she saw the word ' book '.
Portrays
the words not understood can teach children to mark words that haven't he
understand. Here we should not force children to follow our way we want.
Because we need to identify the extent of his ability. If he is unable to
understand one page, cut it into several paragraphs. If he could not understand
some of the paragraphs, cut it into a single paragraph, and so on until it came
to the one sentence.
Child
dyslexia has a short term memory is limited to a minimal vocabulary and so need
a lot of reinforcement. How to teach children reading and dyslexia was not an
easy process. Vary the methods through word games or invited the streets while
teaching reading the writings in existence. And the most important thing in the
process of learning this is give the slightest appreciation on its development.
Experts recently have found that cases of dyslexia has to do with genetics. So,
if you or your husband is suffering from dyslexia, chances are your children
can also suffer from dyslexia. But the most important thing that dyslexic
children require special attention from parents and people around him. However,
this is the thing that is often overlooked by most parents.
But
if we can point to the good, son of dyslexia have advantages not possessed by
children who have other drawbacks. They are children who are exceptional. Not a
few of them have high imagination power. Take a look at Albert Einstein, a
scientist, a famous actor Tom Cruise, Thomas Alfa Edison inventor lights. They
are Dyslexic.
