Abstract

For a receptive human being, learning is a ceaseless process. However, learning methods at school are relatively vigorous. There can be more than one aspect which creates an impediment to the learning processes. Therefore, coping with learning difficulties can be extremely stressful for a student. The methodology that the present paper follows is an analysis of various books on dyslexia with an intention to offer incisive insights which can be adopted by teachers in the classroom for managing the educational needs of a disabled student. After a general discussion on the term ‘learning disabilities,’ the paper attempts to understand dyslexia, its symptoms and some techniques which can be adopted by teachers in their remedial classes in order to enhance the reading skills in students with such disabilities. In simple language, the term ‘Dyslexia’ can be understood as a difficulty in reading. A dyslexic student is commonly mistaken as a slow learner. However, the paper attempts to discuss that dyslexic students are not slow learners and by implementing certain strategies and remedial programmes, a dyslexic student can effectively excel in academics. The paper circumspectly knits together ideas and techniques for building the reading skills of children with difficulties and provides pragmatic strategies for teachers as well as parents to help students in developing their reading skills. The conclusion of this paper offers some tips for improving the reading skills of dyslexic students. It emphasizes on the fact that if these easy and understandable reading techniques are faithfully taught by a teacher such techniques would prove to be an aid to facilitate disabled students to strengthen their reading skills. Also, through the bibliography of this paper, a list of resources has been created for those who may wish to seek further guidance or assistance in this area of research.
