To know which learning skills to teach the individual student, the teacher must assess a student´s dyslexic learning problems
to discover:
(1) what their problems are,
(2) how severe they are so as to know what grade level of learning they can manage,
(3) which is the strongest learning sense: auditory, visual or kinesthetic, and
(4) which are the correct skills and methods to teach the students to overcome their learning problems.
Most dyslexic children and adults are extremely bright and talented in many ways but if they are taught using inappropriate methods,
they will be robbed of the opportunity to reach their full potential.

these students in the appropriate skills, click How the Right-brain Thinks
