VISUAL-SPATIAL VS. AUDITORY-SEQUENTIAL

​Dyslexics think primarily in pictures or images, as opposed to thinking in words, and they learn differently.

Some educators still focus on what dyslexics can’t do, i.e. processing sounds of letters and words, and try to get them to do it through drills and repetitions.

This leads to confusion as they try to figure out the sounds and read laboriously, the end result of which are frustration and lack of comprehension of what they just read.

They need an alternative way of learning. If the current way is not working for your dyslexic child, perhaps it’s time to change.
