Electronic Toolkit Speeds Up Learning in Dyslexic Kids
In the toolkit she is developing, Seward begins with the smallest units of sound and helps children associate them with letter forms.
With the touch of a mouse, a teacher working with a child can scroll over the letter "p," and the "p" will then morph to display common items associated with the "puh" sound: (peach, peppermint, pie, pea and piano).
Seward likens her project to a parent holding a child's bike as the child learns to ride. Little by little, the parent is able to forego providing complete support and moves to an occasional steadying hand until, ultimately, the child is riding under his or her own power.
"This electronic toolkit is a scaffold that can be built upon and then taken away," she explained.
She will present her innovative electronic project, titled 'Reading by Design: Visualizing Phonemic Sound for Dyslexic Readers 9-11 Years Old,' at the Southwest International Reading Association Regional Conference in Oklahoma City, Okla.
