Dyslexia Victoria Reading Program

Original price was: $15.00.Current price is: $8.95.

Our Dyslexia Victoria Reading Program is a technique to practice reading out loud to a tutor (eg. teacher, tutor, parent or grandparent) to help improve automatic word recognition. This technique can help a dyslexic student retain the images of words to build an at grade or appropriate age level vocabulary. This helps a dyslexic student with their reading, spelling, and writing skills.
This reading method is designed to minimize a student’s effort to recognize words and say them out loud. Reading out loud is very difficult for a dyslexic student but good practice for recognizing and memorizing words.
Reading aloud requires more effort than silent reading because it involves vocalization and auditory processing. This increases cognitive load but offers benefits like improved memory, comprehension, and focus.
Why Reading Aloud Requires More Effort:
• Additional Steps: Involves vocal organs and auditory processing.
• Slower Speed: Limited by speaking speed.
• Increased Brain Power: Requires significant brainpower.
• Linear Process: Prevents scanning or skimming.
Benefits of the Extra Effort:
• Improved Memory: Helps remember material better.
• Enhanced Comprehension: Engages multiple senses.
• Increased Focus: Helps individuals with ADHD focus.
• Proofreading and Catching Mistakes: Identifies errors.
• Better Language and Public Speaking Skills: Improves articulation and confidence.

The Dyslexia Victoria Reading program helps a student develop the ability to work with these reading skills.

3. A Different Way of Learning Not a Label
Dyslexic individuals are often intelligent and creative. The term ‘learning disability’ is misleading; instead, we advocate for respectful and empowering language. We prefer ‘right-brained’ and ‘left-brained’ to describe how people process information.

The accuracy of the terms “right-brained” and “left-brained” have been debated for years but we want to use them to differentiate how the different parts of the brain work together.

Here is one example of what you can see:

Summertime Reading Program for Dyslexic Students

Our Summer Reading Program is beneficial year-round but the summer can be a great time to spend more time practicing. Below is a summary of the program. Dyslexia Victoria Online offers a positive, non-stressful approach with a reward system to encourage reading fluency. Our method focuses on word recognition and vocabulary development rather than sounding out words.

Key Points:

  • Relaxed Environment: Without the pressure of a classroom, students can practice reading for a few minutes a day using our technique.
  • Proven Success: Students can progress one to two grade levels by the end of summer. For example, an 8-year-old girl improved from two years behind to grade level in just one summer.
  • Patience and Understanding: Dyslexic students face unique challenges. It’s important to be patient and supportive, recognizing their efforts and progress.
  • Guidelines:
    • Provide a healthy snack before sessions.
    • Practice four times a week, starting with 4-5 minutes per session.
    • Use engaging reading materials like storybooks, comic books, and graphic novels.
    • Read aloud and use visual aids like colored paper or overlays.
    • Allow the student to move around if needed.
    • Reward participation and progress with small incentives.

Recommended Reading Materials:

  • Storybooks, comic books, graphic novels, poetry, and songs.
  • Books with repeated word family syllables, such as Dr. Seuss and Usborne Phonics Readers.

Final Thoughts: Patience and consistency are key. With time and practice, students will gain confidence and reading fluency.

The accuracy of the terms “right-brained” and “left-brained” have been debated for years but we want to use them to differentiate how the different parts of the brain work together.
