Re: [MOSAIC] Dyslexia
You mention 2 terrific ideas: 1. One on one - the most marvelous strategy 2. Colored cellophane. We worked with a dyslexic youngster in small groups from second to fourth grade with some small successes. By fifth grade we were able to give her one on one instruction for her reading one hour a day. The gains were fabulous. In the later part of the year, I added the colored cellophane. The blue tint worked best for her. These two aids moved her forward so much that her success fueled her desire and she was reading in grade level (her listening comprehension was always 3 grade levels above her reading ability) by the end of fifth grade.. -Original Message- From: Mosaic [mailto:mosaic-boun...@literacyworkshop.org] On Behalf Of Mena Sent: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 1:42 PM To: mosaic@literacyworkshop.org Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] Dyslexia a book you might be interested in..Irlen Institute Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome Philomena Marinaccio, Ph.D. Florida Atlantic University Dept. of Teaching and Learning College of Education 2912 College Ave. ES 214 Davie, FL 33314 Phone: 954-236-1070 Fax: 954-236-1050 -Original Message- From: jkdamouras To: Mosaic: A Reading Comprehension Strategies Email Group Sent: Wed, May 15, 2013 11:45 am Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] Dyslexia Not sure if anyone mentioned this. I worked with a dyslexic 6th grader one year 1-1 for a part of each day. I found using colored cellaphane as an overlay for whatever she was reading helped a lot. You do have to try different colors to find the one that works best for a particular child. I have tried this with other students who were really struggling since then and some have really liked it. We also did a stop ladder spelling strategy to help learn pariticular grade level words. so that we would write the 1st letter of a word, then below that the 1st and 2nd, then below that the 1st and 2nd and 3rd, and so on. This is more of a spelling strategy, but again, it has worked with others, including my own child, when struggling with spelling. so, just a couple of small ideas. -kay On Tue, May 14, 2013 at 10:51 PM, Troy F wrote: > You can debate all you want who can diagnose it.

Re: [MOSAIC] Getting slow starters reading
Suppose the students dictate what they think the pictures say, therefore creating a book they "wrote." Something like "language experience" of old. Students are anxious to read what they've written!

I want to dress up too, but I am 30 weeks pregnant. I am trying to figure out a pregnant literary character that the kids will easily recognize. I don't need an intricate costume, but I wnat something that is recognizable. Last year, I was Bella from Twilight (yes, a bit below level, but the kids LOVED it.)
