    Your activities are VERY interesting. I have worked with dyslexic students in the past... I think they would have loved BOTH activities. I shall have to pass these on to their current teachers.

    My son was just diagnosed with dyslexia/add and my nephew was diagnosed with a tracking issue. Are they related disorders and is the help similar for both?

    Dyslexia and ADD are both cognitive issues and tracking is not. As for dyslexia, there are numerous cognitive processing deficits that can lead to this diagnosis such as sequencing, auditory discrimination, and visual processing difficulties. ADD is an attentional problem and is "housed" in an area called executive functioning. In contrast, tracking is a issue specifically with the eyes. This is when an individual has difficulty scanning across the page from left to right.

    Now it is always possible for a student with Dyslexia to also have tracking problems, but it is not required in that particular diagnosis.

How to Develop Reading Stamina for Struggling Readers

Building reading stamina for struggling readers can be a tricky endeavor.  After a few pages of text, many lose interest because reading is a difficult and cognitively taxing chore.  So what can be done to increase endurance and help learners find joy in reading. What is Reading Stamina? Reading stamina is a learner's ability to sustain attention and effort when reading independently. Why Do Some Students Struggle with Poor Reading Stamina? Poor reading stamina is often associated with other areas of cognitive-based weaknesses.  If readers, for example, are placing too much attention and energy on decoding words, there is little mental space left - if any - to comprehend the material.  Perhaps they can decode words, but their tracking, visualization skills, or working memory are lacking.  Again, they may not have the cognitive room to make sense of what they are reading.  Here are a few possible processing areas that could get in the way: Weak visual proces...

Why Visualization Skills Offer Key Benefits for Students

In the classroom, many students are discouraged from using their imaginations or visualization skills, because, in the past, they have used mental imagery to escape the lesson.  However, when kids learn how to take the reins of their imagination and tame their mind's eye, they can use mental images as well as their inner voice to drop into the teachable moment. What is Visualization? Visualization is the mind's ability to create internal images.  Like a dream or a movie, it's the capacity to imagine objects, experiences, or solutions on one's inner sketchpad.  Some learners have a strong mind's eye and they can easily visualize past memories, ideas, or coming events.  Other's can struggle with what I call a blind mind's eye, and they need to develop this skill with explicit instruction.  As a result, there is a large continuum of abilities. How Can You Assess a Student's Visualization Abilities? If you would like to evaluate a learner's baseline or c...
