The Irlen Method uses color overlays to improve visual processing.  It
is my understanding that there is some evidence that this method can be
effective for some struggling readers and dyslexics.

Subject: [FamilyLiteracy 869] Re: New Issue of Focus on Basics

 

I have been asked by an ESL teacher in a family literacy program if a
person who has dyslexia can respond to materials in certain colors
better that materials in other colors.  Do any of you have information
about this?  Or can you refer me to a another source for information?  I
did not find this issue discussed in the article about dyslexia in Focus
on Basics.

Learning disabilities is the topic of a new issue of "Focus on Basics",
now available at www.ncsall.net (click on "Focus on Basics" near the top
of the right column on the homepage).

 

Articles range from neurology and dyslexia to legal issues related to
serving students with learning disabilities, to best practices shared by
skilled teachers, to three states' approaches to serving students with
learning disabilities, to addressing the needs of ESOL learners, to
technology, to transitions to college, to changing practice at the
program and classroom level: there's something for everyone.  

 

Read on!
