CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -In an educational evaluation of dyslexia, the student may be assessed for phonological awareness and memory, Rapid Automatic Naming (RAN), vocabulary, decoding skills, reading fluency, writing ability, and spelling.

Detailed explanation-2: -Based on this, Wolf and colleagues hypothesized that there are two core deficits in dyslexia: the phonological deficit and a fluency deficit, and the most impaired readers have a “double deficit” characterized by both inaccurate decoding and slow, dysfluent reading (Wolf & Bowers, 1999).

Detailed explanation-3: -Experts agree that the best practice for teaching children with dyslexia is to teach them by engaging all their senses (multisensory teaching). This means using visuals, motion, body movement, hands-on, and auditory elements in their learning.

Detailed explanation-4: -Dyslexia is a learning difficulty that primarily affects the skills involved in accurate and fluent word reading and spelling. Characteristic features of dyslexia are difficulties in phonological awareness, verbal memory and verbal processing speed. Dyslexia occurs across the range of intellectual abilities.
