Scenario → Piet has severe dyslexia. He likes to read and wants to put in the effort. You give Piet a turn to read a passage of the text you are reading out loud with the class. Even though Piet is really putting in the effort, it takes longer than some students have the patience for. They start complaining that it takes too long and Piet refuses to read out loud further.
How would you take action if this would happen during your lesson?

A brief history of pizza.
It’s kind of silly to talk about the moment when pizza was invented. It gradually evolved over the years, but one thing’s for certain. It’s been around for a very long time. The idea of using pieces of bread as plates came from the greeks. They called them plakuntos and ate them with various simple toppings.

Case Study
Grace has a diagnosis of dyslexia. She has trouble with visual scanning, processing, and working memory. She also has difficulties with spelling and sequencing for problem solving. She has strong verbal skills and is artistic abilities. She learns well with color and when her hands are occupied.
Grace struggled with note taking because of her difficulties with spelling and visual scanning (looking from the board to her paper). Furthermore, she could not keep up and got "lost" in the lecture (particularly for subjects that were already difficult for her). Grace’s teachers thought that she was not putting forth the effort.

Roleplay - Perspectives
Slide 17 - Tekstslide
Roleplay - Perspectives
We are going to take on the roles of everyone involved with a dyslexic pupil. e.g., teacher, parents, classmates and the dyslexic pupil.
We will make groups and every group will roleplay as one of the examples mentioned before.
Slide 18 - Tekstslide
Roleplay - Perspectives
What to think/brainstorm about:
1. What are our general feelings towards the dyslexic pupil?
2. Are there any frustrations, if so, what kind of frustrations?
3. How can we help?
4. Are there any difficulties when it comes to helping the dyslexic pupil?
