if anyone has any experience with this learning disease, i would love it if you guys can share what kind of support advices you can give. I believe one of my students has it and I dont want him to feel like an outcast just because he can't read and spells backward.

Have him use a ruler or something straight that also covers the sentence below and read slowly and take his time. For spelling is it certain letters or just the whole word? For me it was d's and b's. If it's certain letters he just needs to spell the word out loud and check to see that each letter matches.

Ruler works great. Also they have computer programs that change the color of the words to help you out. If you have any questions I am very very dyslexic and will be glad to give some tips I've learned over the years

Using color sheets helped me, greatly.

I've heard good things about translucent, colored sheets placed over the words, too. Doesn't work for everyone, but for those it does, it's wonderfully simple.

Iam dyslexic as well I used to break down words to help me out like for a example transformation I break to trans-from-a-tion which helps for reading and spelling.

thank you guys! i shall try all of these advice. it he doesnt get better i feel like its partially my fault for not lookin after him

My sister suffered with dyslexia. The important thing is to make sure that he knows this isn't a character flaw. Other than that, if you can give him time to work through on his own, and encourage his peers to support him.

It's possible to work through it, and ultimately at least for me it was rewarding to finally get passed it and "beat" my condition. It's ultimatly nothing to be ashamed of, people learn at different paces, but if the social factor's going to be a problem then there's always ways to spin it. Suggest he'd really love reading certain material (comics and graphic novels are excellent for this) and constantly make recommendations, maybe even find some and lend them to him. Discreetly give him more time for assignments, not because he;s stupid but because you want him to do the best he can do and you understand he could benefit from a slower pace. If there is trouble, then stick up for him in ront of the other kids. Ultimatly a teacher is a special needs kid's best friend- just gotta encourage him :)

Talk to his parents as well, get them in on it. It sounds backwards, but if you guys in tandem can create a culture of reading around him he might get the extra practice he needs.

My mother used to be a teachers aid at a preschool that catered to children with special needs, it seemed that the methods that helped every dyslexic kid was different. The way they did it was have a one on one aid for that kid until they had found the methods that worked best for that kid. Since your are worried about appearances I would suggest 1 hour after school sessions geared towards finding the things that help them and pin pointing specific things that they have problems with. Talk with the parents and have them work on some stuff at home also. As this is a major thing that if given the tools to cope with early can change a lot later on I would recommend weekly meetings with the parents to discuss things that are working and things that are not.
