Question

Traditional ways of teaching children to read to work well for those who are dyslexic.


True


False

Answer 1

False.

Traditional (especially whole-language) reading instruction often doesn’t meet the needs of children with dyslexia. Dyslexia typically involves phonological-processing difficulties, so evidence-based programs use explicit, systematic, multisensory phonics (structured literacy/Orton–Gillingham–style) and early intervention to be effective.
