When I am working with my dyslexic uni students I often say that in school we are taught in off the peg , or size fits all strategies.
So for a dyslexic kid in school the teaching strategies used do not feel comfortable, they do not fit and they do not feel right and most importantly they do not work for them or their dyslexia.
What dyslexics need are a set of made to measure or tailor made strategies that work well for them, that fit well with them and are comfortable to use and enable them to work with their dyslexia instead of against it.
That's why we need to have more multi sensory teaching going on is school. Its not only dyslexic kids that would benefit from this but all kids.
