Hi Bill, I can't believe there's just the 9000 views here and top marks to your son. What a fabulous job he's done here. What you've presented here couldn't be more in line with the British program Toe by Toe, which is used in British prisons as much as we don't like to imagine, with the full support of JK Rowling of all people!You just have to have a look.I'm dying to get underway with using the 'little red book' here in NZ. The authors are fabulous and write back.The Cowling brothers,whose mother invented the simplified system of syllable division and the use of nonsense words to teach decoding would just think your video here was super! Cheers, Ingrid
Our 8 year old dyslexic grandson happens to have quite the math brain and is also very skilled with building. Let's remember that even though our dyslexic kids may not become the best readers and writers, they still have many talents that they can use to be successful in life. Let's help them the best we can to develop skills in many areas, not just to be prolific readers.
so true. I do believe though you can teach with sight since its their superpower as they see things in 3 d. But yes eventually you will need to phonological to complete it. Can't do it without it, as they will forget what P sounds like in chop...but sight is how we read now. its instant. but we have recorded the sound of the letters in our brain programming. so he's essentially right.
This has made clear a lot of things concerning both teaching dyslexic students and learning as a dyslexic student. I have been a teacher for many years and only realised that i myself was dyslexic around 30y. I wish i had been diagnosed early so i could have done more repetitions and not felt so dumb most of the time! I completed a M.Biostat but it still nearly kills me to read, especially in my academic work. I am always patiently working on my reading so it continues to slowly improve and i am learn that taking notes while reading (K), using a text reader (A) and reading (V) at the same time helps me to get more out of the plain text. Thanks Bill
@@gayeanderson8487 Hi Gaye from Toe by Toe. Glad to hear you've been using TBT with your child. Hope it's gone well... All best wishes, Frank at TBT #TBTchangeslives
Really informative, many thanks. One thing - some of the non-words you displayed wouldn't be used as they have 'illegal' letter combinations eg mheet - we wouldn't have a word with a mh at the beginning
I feel bad, I think my daughter has dyslexia. I would get so annoyed with her expecting her to know words that should be "easy" for her. Now I'm heartbroken for her. I know she will always struggle as she gets older
@@gabriellelange4698 Well I need to have her evaluated before I go to any teacher and say what I think is her issue. I will have her soon . I've also been thinking about buying certain books just for dyslexia
The problem with practicing is if you practice an inefficient method or system you keep it and it continues to be the problem over and over again the same mistake. The trick is, find the method that really word for real(if there is such a thing) and practice the hell out of it and hope to God you retain it.
There are visual tracking disorders that make kids slow readers. Exercises to help eye focusing and tracking can be helpful. Reading problems can be a mixed bag so we need to focus on many areas.
Do you have an advice on how to get a extra time for the HSC, not about me, me and the head of learning enrichment have a game plan for that. My friend doesn’t require a reader or scribe but used to get extra time and is normally in a separate room, but she has practically given up this year, the head of learning enrichment at my school said to her “is it okay of you don’t get extra time anymore?” My friend being nervous said “okay”. Her mum thinks it’s a great test for the future even though it affects her grades which will affect her future. The point is, do you know how to tackle NESA, I’m still scared for my HSC, I’m going to have to redo all my testing at the end of year 11... (cause NESA doesn’t understand what LIFE LONG means) is. A teacher at my school said NESA didn’t give a legally blind girl special previsions, they had to appeal it... so I’m worried...
Word Wasp book is excellent and teaches both reading and spelling. Only around AUD$50 and easy for parents to facilitate. I used with my son from 6yo.to 8yo a 3-4 days a week. He has come a.pong way and can now read at age level (turning 9yo). We will be doing Toe by Toe over the holidays which is a similar book but focuses on reading only (made by the author of Word Wasp and his mother). Nessy is also an excellent online program. And Reading Simplified's "Switch It" game was excellent for helping my.son to learn how to identify and manipulate sounds. We used the free version.
It’s great that you noticed that dyslexia has nothing to do with vision. It also has nothing to do with grades. There are people who graduated from high school who are illiterate. They compensate.
I totally agree with the way Bill referred to multisensory learning techniques here, BUT this is NOT to be confused with "Learning Styles" (which is utter nonsense, see Prof Dan Willingham). As teachers, the modalities we use MUST be related to the tasks we are teaching to be effective...that's why clay letters & tracing is such a waste of time. i.e. See it, say & hear it, write it.
the bad thing about this videos is it will never continue , the guy made a big effort to make a wonderful materials , and sadly only 253 subscribers , if he put non sense selly videos he may get thousands of subscribers within days , very sad.
Thank-YOU! I am blown away that the number of repetitions needs to be 100s-1000s!!

Hi Ingrid, Frank here at Toe by Toe. We are indeed impressed with Bill's video. I hope TBT has gone well with your child. #TBTchangeslives

Well, this video has completely changed my perspective.

go for it!
Has anyone tried Toe by Toe? It fits most oh Bill’s criteria . A parent introduced it to me. It is very repetitive if needed.

I love your video. I'm currently using a program with many similarities called Spell to write and read with my kids. It's so similar. Awesome video.
Thank you for your "rant" it was very informative.

Can you get hep for her now? What is her school doing? I m a teacher this is my thing - showing parents what is possible.

look into the Davis method!
Love your work Bill.

How do I find proper testing to diagnose my son’s dyslexia? We’re in the states and homeschooling. Any information would be great. Thank you.
Thoughts on fluency as an area of need and the program IMSE?

What do you think about Reading Horizon Elevate? Desperate for a program for an older student who is badly debilitated by dyslexia.
So what programme would you suggest for homeschoolers who gave up on the school system after 3 years of not learning?
All About Reading is a multi sensory approach just like he is talking about.
@@thisworldisnotmyhome747 yup an overpriced program!!
Marnie Gisberg offers much of what is needed for free.
Edith Cowan University has a sope and sequence online that is free.

The music in the background is very distracting…
the bad thing about this videos is it will never continue , the guy made a big effort to make a wonderful materials , and sadly only 253 subscribers , if he put non sense selly videos he may get thousands of subscribers within days , very sad.
Why does this have creepy music?
