True or False: Dyslexia reflects an overall defect in language.
What is false. Dyslexia is a weakness within a specific component of the language system (phonological - turning words into sounds).
100
True or False: The strong reader and student with dyslexia typically use the same regions of their brain when reading?
What is False?
100
This is the greatest early indicator of possibly Dyslexia
What is family history of Dyslexia?
100
1 - 4 students per group
What is the ideal or recommended size for an intervention group?
100
The most helpful accommodation for a student with Dyslexia
What is extended time?
200
This is a simple definition of Dyslexia.
What is an unexpected difficulty learning to read despite intelligence, motivation, and education?
200
Due to primarily using this portion of their brain, Dyslexic readers tend to have trouble analyzing words and transforming letters into sounds.
What is the front section or the right section (or both)?
200
These are two signs of possible dyslexia that are noticeable prior to formally learning how to read.
What are: Delayed Speech Trouble with pronunciation Difficulty rhyming Difficulty playing with language (pulling words apart, putting them together, etc.) Difficulty with repeated sounds Difficulty connecting letters to sounds
200
The four essentials to this type of program are: 1. Systematic and Direct Instruction 2. Practice in applying those skills to reading and writing 3. Fluency Training 4. Enriched Language Experiences
What are the four essentials to an effective early intervention program?
200
Many can be found in our access lab and access centers at local colleges. These may be more beneficial to students than reading the print version of their textbooks.
What are recorded textbooks?
300
This is the age that effective interventions will no longer be effective (i.e. you're now hopeless...).
What is never! There is strong research that even older adults can improve their reading skills and fluency with consistent research-based interventions.
300
True or False: There was not a noticeable difference between the areas of the brain that activate when men and women were asked to rhyme nonsense words?
What is false? Men typically activate the left side and women activate both the right and left side.
300
For students with Dyslexia, this is typically much stronger orally/listening than when reading.
What is comprehension?
300
Instruction in phonemic awareness and phonics and teaching students how to apply this knowledge to reading and writing are (by far) more important than ____
What are any specific reading programs?
300
Record the lecture Borrow someone's notes Use a laptop or iPad Record your own essays Request different grading scales (i.e. not for spelling)
What helpful strategies to accommodate for writing challenges?
400
True or False: Dyslexia is a developmental lag in reading skills - some people will eventually outgrow it.
What is False?
400
In this year, scientist began connecting the correct parts of the brain with reading.
What is 1892 - Jules Dejerine?
400
In Kindergarten age children this specific skill has the strongest relationship to later reading skill.
What is phonemic awareness?
400
Language! A Literacy Intervention Curriculum READ 180 Fast Track Reading Program High Point REACH System
What are targeted programs for students with dyslexia in grades four and above?
400
The appropriate time is usually around second grade
When should students start receiving accommodations for reading and writing?
500
True or False: Students with dyslexia can demonstrate true strengths in vocabulary and comprehension?
What is true.
500
True or False: Researchers are beginning to believe that there could be a group of students with dyslexia that is due to environmental causes.
What is true? They are believe that the wiring in the posterior reading section of the brain was 'laid' correctly, but has not formed correctly due to lack of activity (poor language environment and/or poor instruction).
500
These are a few common strengths that are consistent among students with dyslexia.
What are: Average or above intelligence Big Picture Thinking Listening Comprehension Success in areas without rote memorization High Learning capability
500
This can be achieved through repeated oral reading of either entire passages or single words (especially effective with teacher feedback).
What is successful fluency training?
500
These types of exams are particularly challenging and a usually a poor assessment of a student with dyslexia's knowledge of a topic.
What are multiple choice exams?
