How to create inclusive Classroom for Dyslexic EFL Learners?

·10 min
Host, a dyslexia and EFL specialist, addresses the challenging question of how to teach students with dyslexia in mixed-ability classrooms. She corrects misconceptions (dyslexia affects more than reading/spelling; secondary students still need phonics), shares her recently published e-books on the topic, and provides concrete classroom strategies. Key recommendations include diagnosis importance, structured predictable lessons, using larger notebooks with post-its, and implementing phonemic awareness instruction while keeping assistive technology as supplement rather than solution.
