Recent years have brought advances in education research, including brain research as it relates to literacy and learning. By understanding how the brain functions throughout the reading process, appropriate instruction can be implemented. As with many forms of research, there are different theories and approaches related to both typical and atypical reading development, including approaches used with students with reading disabilities. One learning disorder that students may have problems with is dyslexia. Dyslexia is a learning disorder that involves difficulty due to problems identifying speech sounds and learning how they relate to letters and words. Review this week’s resources on dyslexia and write a 1-2 page paper that addresses the following:Explain the nature and symptoms of dyslexia. How can dyslexia impact instruction in reading and writing for students?Identify resources for students who show characteristics of dyslexia and explain why these resources are relevant.Discuss at least 2 evidence-based instructional strategies for students who show characteristics of dyslexia and 1 evidence-based strategy for a structured literacy approach.Explain the positive outcomes of intervention and the outcomes where a lack of intervention occurs.All of the reading resources can be found in this document – https://docs.google.com/document/d/13oibvz4fStcEY_DSi9PB1G3EXak7TkPagqOqwsOyL08/edit?usp=sharing
