๐Ÿ“˜ FINAL SECTION – CHAPTER 8: DYSLEXIA (MODULE 7 COMPLETE)

 



๐Ÿงฑ VERSION 1 – FULL STANDARD (TRAINING TEXT CONTINUATION)

๐Ÿงฑ Morphology (Word Parts)

Morphology is the study of word parts.

๐Ÿ“š Word Parts:

  • Prefixes: un-, re-, dis-
  • Suffixes: -ing, -ed, -s
  • Root words: act, struct, port

๐Ÿ‘‰ Helps with:

  • Reading long words
  • Understanding meaning
  • Building vocabulary

๐Ÿง  Types of Dyslexia

๐Ÿ“š 1. Phonological Dyslexia

  • Difficulty sounding out words
  • Most common type

๐Ÿ‘ 2. Surface Dyslexia

  • Difficulty recognising whole words
  • Struggles with irregular words

⚖️ 3. Double Deficit Dyslexia

  • Phonological + slow naming speed
  • Often more severe

๐Ÿ‘‍๐Ÿ—จ 4. Visual Dyslexia

  • Difficulty with visual tracking
  • Losing place when reading

⚡ 5. Rapid Naming Dyslexia

  • Slow naming of objects/letters
  • Affects reading fluency

๐Ÿงฌ 6. Developmental Dyslexia

  • Present from birth
  • Genetic influence

๐Ÿง  7. Acquired Dyslexia

  • Caused by brain injury or trauma
  • Sudden onset

๐Ÿ› ️ Best Teaching Approaches

✅ Structured Literacy

  • Step-by-step teaching
  • Explicit instruction
  • Systematic progression

๐Ÿง  Multisensory Learning

  • See + hear + say + write
  • Engages multiple senses

๐Ÿ”ค Phonics Instruction

  • Sound–letter mapping
  • Phoneme awareness

๐Ÿ“– Morphology Teaching

  • Prefixes, suffixes, root words
  • Builds word understanding

Ineffective Methods

Avoid:

  • Guessing words from pictures
  • Relying only on context clues
  • Memorising word lists alone

๐Ÿ‘‰ These do NOT support dyslexia learning effectively


๐Ÿ“Š Assessment & Progress Monitoring

  • Short, regular assessments
  • Track progress over time
  • Adjust teaching strategies

๐Ÿ‘‰ Ensures support is effective


๐Ÿ’ก Strengths of People with Dyslexia

  • Creativity
  • Problem-solving
  • Big-picture thinking
  • Visual learning strengths
  • Entrepreneurial thinking

❤️ Support Strategies

๐Ÿ—ฃ Communication

  • Clear instructions
  • Step-by-step guidance

๐Ÿ“š Learning

  • Visual aids
  • Repetition

๐Ÿง  Memory Support

  • Chunk information
  • Use patterns

๐Ÿง‘‍๐Ÿค‍๐Ÿง‘ Emotional Support

  • Be patient
  • Build confidence

๐ŸŽ“ Teaching Activity

๐Ÿงฉ Sound Builder Game

  1. Say a word: “cat”
  2. Break into sounds: c – a – t
  3. Build letters
  4. Blend together

๐Ÿ‘‰ Builds phonological awareness


๐Ÿงพ Quiz

  1. What is dyslexia?
    ๐Ÿ‘‰ A learning difference affecting reading and spelling
  2. What is phonological awareness?
    ๐Ÿ‘‰ Ability to hear and manipulate sounds
  3. What is orthographic mapping?
    ๐Ÿ‘‰ Linking sounds, letters, and meaning
  4. Name one type of dyslexia
    ๐Ÿ‘‰ Phonological / Surface / Visual
  5. True or False: Dyslexia is caused by low intelligence
    ❌ False

๐Ÿงพ Quick Revision Summary

  • Dyslexia affects reading, spelling, writing
  • It is linked to phonological processing
  • Structured literacy is most effective
  • Morphology supports vocabulary
  • Strengths are important

๐Ÿ’ก Key Takeaways

✔ Dyslexia is a learning difference
✔ Teaching must be structured and explicit
✔ Phonics + morphology are essential
✔ Strengths must be recognised
✔ Support builds confidence and success


๐Ÿ”š Final Thought

๐Ÿ’š Understanding dyslexia reduces stigma
๐Ÿ’š Support helps people succeed
๐Ÿ’š Everyone learns differently—and that is okay


๐Ÿ“„ VERSION 2 – EASY READ (FINAL SECTION)

๐Ÿง  Morphology

Morphology means word parts.

  • Prefixes (un-, re-)
  • Suffixes (-ing, -ed)
  • Root words (act, port)

๐Ÿ‘‰ Helps with reading long words


๐Ÿง  Types of Dyslexia

People may have different types:

  • Sounding out words
  • Recognising words
  • Reading speed
  • Visual tracking

  • Good problem solvers
  • Good visual thinkers

๐Ÿ’š Key Message

People with dyslexia learn in different ways.


๐Ÿ“Š VERSION 3 – QUIZ (ANSWERED)

  1. Dyslexia is:
    ๐Ÿ‘‰ Learning difference ✔
  2. Phonological awareness is:
    ๐Ÿ‘‰ Hearing and using sounds ✔
  3. Orthographic mapping is:
    ๐Ÿ‘‰ Linking sounds and letters ✔
  4. Example type:
    ๐Ÿ‘‰ Phonological / Surface / Visual ✔
  5. Intelligence link:
    ❌ False

๐Ÿงพ VERSION 4 – QUICK REVISION

  • Dyslexia affects reading and spelling
  • Phonics and morphology are important
  • Structured teaching works best
  • Strengths should be supported
  • Learning is different for everyone

๐ŸŽ“ VERSION 5 – TEACHING ACTIVITY

๐Ÿงฉ Sound Game

  • Say word
  • Break sounds
  • Build word
  • Blend together
