Teaching children to read while nurturing their love for reading.
As an educator it is my job to teach my children to read, but also identify those who can't read and nurture their love for reading. Dyslexia is on the rise in public schools among the student population.
Dyslexic children use nearly five times the brain area as normal children while performing a simple language task, according to a new study by an interdisciplinary team of University of Washington researchers. The study shows for the first time that there are chemical differences in the brain function of dyslexic and non-dyslexic children.
This is an image of the new studies found where dyslexic children use five times more brain area when completing a simple task such as: a language task; reading. When a child with dyslexia is learning to read, it takes him/her five times the desire, time, or effort to complete this task. It is so imparative that they love reading not only because someone has taken the time to teach them to read ,but also nurtures their love for reading.
I used Google with the search query of= dyslexia OR children OR reading
