There are a variety of apps that either parents, teachers or even the students with dyslexia that can aid in their education and enjoyment. There are many apps for educational purposes, take a quick moment to go onto either Playstore or iTunes (whichever phone you have) and type in the search option “dyslexia apps” and a variety of options come up. The few apps that I will go through that I believe can be very beneficial for students and parents are:
rd fo for r Dy Dysle lexics:
Dysle lexia Reading Assistant:
Dysle lexia Glo lossary ry (to identify dyslexia):
Dysle lexia – Find He Help lp (Information):
There are even apps for games that students with dyslexia can play which is not only beneficial but also fun. There are quite a few (I will give you a quick minute to search games for dyslexics, feel free to download and play while I talk). As you can there are a few, the two that I thought were good are:
Worm rm alp lphabet fo for r dysle lexia: Although it may be too simple for high school students it can be extremely helpful to primary school, preschool or even middle school students to use.
Word rd searc rch puzzle les: Although this game does not specify for dyslexics specifically, it can be useful for them to help understand words and the order the letters go in.
Not only are there great apps for students, but also there are books available for students, teachers and parents. As educators you would know first hand what I mean when I say there is a lot of material available on dyslexia. To name a few that I think are quite useful: Ho How to defe feat your r child ld’s dysle lexia: your r guide to
