It's Time to Teach Study Skills
Did you know that over 75% of students with learning disabilities spend a majority of their time in general education classes, especially at the middle and high school levels? While capable of learning the content, students with specific learning disabilities, like Dyslexia, do not pick up on study skills like their typical peers who generally "figure out" how to study.
Dyslexic students report that they do study, but.... they often study ineffectively. Reading notes over and over is not an effective strategy. Dyslexic college students report working hours more than their peers only to earn a C, at best, on tests. Check out the infographic to learn about the gaps in our teacher prep programs, educator beliefs about study skills, and more!
