A definition - Dyslexia is a specific learning difference that primarily affects the ability to learn to read and spell. It often runs in families and stems from a difficulty in processing the sounds in words. Some 10% of the UK population are affected.

6. Engage Video suggestion … Dyslexia – so what’s it all about
Some discussion ideas …
What are your favourite learning styles?
What distracts you when you are concentrating?
When you are being taught, what methods do you prefer? (e.g. demonstration, diagrams, words …)
What is creativity?
Discussion techniques - Go back to the Bible passage ask “How does the theme link with the Bible passage?”
Discuss the question in pairs for 30 seconds then invite a response from each pair.
Use quick-fire answers e.g. throw a soft bean bag / toy to a student, when they answer they throw it back and you quickly throw to another student.
Simplify the question - Invite quick one-word answers, write them on the board, then reflect on the answers – see connections.
Activity suggestion …
Invite people to describe themselves – without using words
