The Gift!

Now that the year is coming to an end, I would like to use this last post to remind each of you to stay focused, motivated, and positive!! I wanted to share this awesome article with everyone in order to help you do so.  You can access the full article here http://www.dyslexia.com/.  This article caught my attention because it's title reads, "Dyslexia the Gift" so I obviously was extremely intrigued.  I liked how this article highlighted some of the positive aspects of having dyslexia, which I feel are very underrated and in some cases, unknown!  Individuals who have dyslexia are often highly creative, intuitive and excel at three-dimensional problem solving and hands on learning.  Students who have dyslexia often learn best through hands on learning, which is no surprise.  The article also went on to say that the best gift of having dyslexia is that individuals who have dyslexia often have "mastery."  What the article means by this is that when students who have dyslexia are taught through learning methods which match their thinking style, they can excel and do very well in school, especially in the reading and writing aspects!  This webpage also advertises the Davis Dyslexia System, which claims to provide tools to help students overcome reading, writing and attention difficulties though their special methods.  Although I am not advertising like the article seems to be, I definitely think the Davis System looks like a cool thing to try out for any individuals interested!  I hope each of you get a chance to read this post and glance at the article.  I would like you all to bring your opinions to class and be ready to discuss with your classmates what you think.  Ask yourself questions like do I see the positive aspects of having Dyslexia?  Have I ever been told about the positive aspects of having Dyslexia before?  What do I think of the Davis Dyslexia System after reading about it?  Would I try the Davis Dyslexia System for myself, why or why not?  For more information about the Davis Dyslexia System, you can find it at http://www.dyslexia.com/ddai.htm.  Don't forget class, no matter what stay positive and you will succeed.  I have faith in you all, have a safe and happy Summer!!!
