Class Experience

The Dyslexic mind is a marvelous thing. A person lucky enough to have this very specialized brain can see the world in a different way, they are excellent problem solvers and creators. This club is an opportunity to meet kids who are going through the same daily struggles, and to learn more about how to harness each child’s individual dyslexic advantage. We will dispel myths, answer student’s questions, and help prepare students to be self advocates. Knowledge is power. 

Each week we will highlight a different dyslexic success story from actors, authors, politicians, sports stars, and entrepreneurs. We will share personal ideas, and experiences. Students are encouraged to volunteer to research and share about a person who inspires them. This portion of the class is completely voluntary, but it has been a powerful experience for both the student presenting and those learning from their peers.

Following the day's lesson we will give the students time to talk among themselves in small groups via the breakout rooms feature. This is where real relationships are built, and students have the opportunity to candidly share about their experiences.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am offering this course after seeing the incredible interactions between my students who I tutor in “real life.” It is not a secret that students with dyslexia often feel embarrassed of their learning differences and I hope the time spent in my class will help my students learn that “different is NOT less.”
