Dyslexia - will LearnThatWord help?

Dyslexia is not "a" learning disability, but rather a collective term for a group of symptoms, which may vary in cause and severity.

Hemos escuchado de los miembros que veían grandes avances utilizando LearnThatWord, pero todavía no hemos sido capaces de llevar a cabo un estudio científico.

Rather, we'd like you to see for yourself it this helps. If it does, please share your experience with us!

Nuestra sugerencia

Please start a free account. If you want to include spelling tutoring and performance reports, please enroll in a monthly plan or invest in a few Pay-Per-Result tokens. Once you see it works for you, you can always upgrade to a long-term plan or buy a larger bundle of tokens.

Focus on consistency in the beginning, not results, and give it a month or two. Ideal would be sessions of 15-25 words every day. You need a minimum of three sessions per week to tell if it works.

Si el número de lapsos de tiempo entre períodos de sesiones, incluso un cerebro disléxico no tiene problemas para recordar las palabras, por lo que la programación de las sesiones en un día oa lo sumo dos días de intervalo es absolutamente crucial para hacer este trabajo.

Dyslexics (sometimes also called "dyslectic") often feel very frustrated when working with words. It will take a while for the brain to unlearn its defense mechanisms and realize that at LearnThatWord there are no negative consequences or embarrassment associated with making a mistake.

Lo que vemos una y otra vez, es que el número de repeticiones pronto se reducirá, y el número de palabras aprendidas sube, junto con la confianza!

Should you have another experience and find that despite regular sessions there is no improvement after a month or two, we will gladly refund your fees. If you're not happy, we're not happy!

¿Qué es la dislexia

Experts diagnose and define dyslexia in different ways. The Federación Mundial de Neurólogos defines it as "a disorder in children who, despite conventional classroom experience, fail to attain the language skills of reading, writing, and spelling commensurate with their intellectual abilities."

The U.S. National Institutes of Health defines it stronger, as a learning disability that impacts a person's ability to read, write, spell... sometimes even speak. Dyslexia is quite common and because it persists throughout life, there is also a large number of adults who struggle with its challenges.

What to do about dyslexia

La dislexia puede variar de leve a grave.

Aside from the learning disability itself, older students over time have experienced a lot of frustration and negative feedback associated with words.

Our brains are wired to avoid anything that causes pain, so this can create another layer of disabling emotions. It's very hard to learn something that we resist, and it's natural to resist something that we experience as painful.

LearnThatWord permite a los estudiantes a mejorar sus habilidades en completa privacidad y centrarse en las palabras de desafío personal.

The program rewards EFFORT, not existing skill or speed of progress. Rewards and prizes acknowledge time on task - the single most important key factor to overcome learning disability.

Commonly, an impairment in the brain's ability to translate images seen (sometimes also sounds heard) into meaningful language causes dyslexia. It's not caused by vision or hearing problems, mental retardation, brain damage, or a lack of intelligence.

Many dyslexic (dyslectic) people are highly intelligent. They simply struggle to communicate!

Sin embargo, ya que su discapacidad les causa dificultades con la lectura y la escritura, hay un riesgo muy alto de que se atrasan académicamente.

Some also find that students with dyslexia need longer to store word patterns (Mental Orthographic Images - MOI). They tend to benefit from logic approaches like phonic and spelling rules more than non-dyslexic students, who commonly simply create MOI of what a word looks like.

LearnThatWord provides 100% personalized tutoring, both in vocabulary and spelling. With our program, it doesn't matter if a student needs three or many more repetitions to learn a word, since the program manages the learning cycle until a set of correct responses has been given.

To get such personal support in privacy is often a big relief for dyslexic/dyslectic students, who may have experienced more or less subtle feedback that their individual need for additional review is "too much."
