    Dyslexia and Spelling.EFL Dyslexic Students can and should learn to spell.

    English makes sense, it is a very logical and organized language. One of the biggest fallacies is telling Dyslexic Students that they can`t grasp spelling. In this episode I`m talking about Spelling and how it can be taught. If you want to dive into the world of spelling sign up for Dyslexia Toolkit`s waitlist.

  • Two heads are better than one.Grammar and writing are interconnected.

    Two heads are better than one.Grammar and writing are interconnected.

    In this episode, I discuss the interconnectedness of grammar, reading, and writing. Teaching grammar is not about mindless translation; it’s about understanding the structure and function of language. Grammar encompasses decoding, working memory, morphology, syntax, and vocabulary. Dyslexic EFL students need explicit grammar instruction to become better readers and writers to fully engage with the language. This instruction helps them recognize patterns, understand sentence structure, and build a robust vocabulary. Tune in and let me know your thoughts, I would love to hear from you.
