[|Strategies for teaching Students with Dyslexia] = __The Dyslexic Child__ =
 * ====Dyslexia is the most common cause of reading, writing and spelling difficulties.====
 * ====Of people with poor reading skills, 70-80% are likely dyslexic.====
 * ====One in five students, or 15-20% of the population, has a language based learning disability. Dyslexia is probably the //**most common**// of the language based learning disabilities====

Since Dyslexia is so prevident in todays society, strategies need to be under taken to best fit the needs of the Dyslexic child in the classroom.
==== "These children can be made to feel very different from their peers simply because they may be unable to follow simple instructions, which for others seem easy. It is a class teacher's responsibility to provide an atmosphere conducive to learning for **all**pupils within their class".( [])====

====This website indicates productive ideas and strategies in order for this to happen. The site also entails links to better understand Dyslexia, differentiated instructions, special education programs and tips to improve reading comprehension and recall. I found this website very helpful in understanding learning strategy instruction for teaching students with learning difficulties such as Dyslexia or students that may be Globally Delayed. This is an important factor when dealing with students who have LD.==== ====Aswell as making adaptations to to teaching materials, teachers need to look at the way instruction is provided. Lenz(2006 p.262) says" Teaching students to think and act in different ways to consciously learn and perform."==== ====The website also offers activities for students in the classroom with Dyslexia and how these activities can be modified for the rest of the students in the class. School subjects such as Maths,English(spelling,grammar,story writing) Science etc, are provided ont he site and how the teacher should approach the subject with a dyslexic child as well as topics to focus on.====
