Opis

Proficient reading is an essential tool for learning a large part of the subject matter taught at school. A dyslexic student who finds the acquisition of these literacy skills difficult can also suffer a lot of anguish and trauma when they may feel mentally abused by their peers at school. Teachers may be confused by dyslexic students whose consistent underachievement, and feel they need to pay more efforts to get into progress. This book sheds light on dyslexia deficit in second language learning acquisition. It gives a clear background of dyslexia phonological awareness, types, causes, symptoms, and treatment. The major feature of this framework is to highlight suggested techniques to help dyslexic students acquiring their second language "English" skills. An understanding of the learners' specific difficulties, and how they may affect the student's classroom performance, can enable the teachers to adopt better teaching methods and strategies to develop the learners' difficulties.
