does music help people with dyslexia?

Yeah it does. It makes their mind more open, and the music itself is a whole new discovery.

for someone who thinks they have a mild form of dyslexia, you can spell and construct sentences well, I think you might just need your eyes tested. But your eye care specialist can refer you to someone if he/she things you have a form of dyslexia

I think many teachers are kind of afraid of music in a way. They just leave it to the music teachers to do, or seem to think it's only the music teachers place. \n\nYou're right - it is a very effective way for children to learn. If they are learning something through song, both sides of the brain are being used to process the info (music is processed in the opposite side of the brain than language). It's a higher and very effective way of learning and comprehending.

No, music does not effect how we live.  It may affect how we live. but it doesn't effect anything.  Go back to your dictionary.

What a bunch of jerks people can be (except the posting just before mine...hi, Annie...good recommendation)!\n\nAnyway... someone who is "dyslexic" is someone with normal or high levels of intelligence (able to catch on to ideas, do hands-on activities, etc. well), who has trouble acquiring print skills. For various reasons, print symbols just don't make natural or instinctive sense for some people. Unfortunately, we now live in a print-reliant society. Print skills are more greatly valued than at any other time in history. So....\n\nIf you don't catch on instinctively to all the phonics rules (e.g. the three different sounds of s, the different ways to spell the long I sound, the five different sounds of "ough," etc.)... if you don't automatically recongize words when you see them, but have to go letter by letter even after years of practice... if you have trouble remembering what you just read, and have to re-read often... \n\nThen you should (as Annie recommended) see an Educational Psychologist or a certified Diagnostician to be tested for a Specific Learning Disability. Being diagnosed opens doors to specialized programs that can help you learn to be more efficient in your attack skills for print. Just because you are not an "insticutal" reader, doesn't mean you can't learn to be a fluent reader. That's why we have the special programs we do in the public schools (given an appropriately trained teacher....).

I have dyslexia.  I live with it, it is part of me.  I think it would be wrong to attempt to "cure" it.  Although my spelling is awful (as you can probably tell - I will not use the spell check on this so you get the idea) and I would hardly make a professional cricket fielder I think that I have some benefits from dyslexia which although not obvious are still there.  Like how autistic people are often super-numerate.\nBasically our minds all work in different ways and dyslexia is one of these differences.  You should try to ensure your daughter is happy and can cope with her failings and use her strengths, don't try to "fix" things that are not broken and remember "if it seems to good to be true it is".\n\nAnyway that is all I have to contribute on this matter.  Have a great day.

Why would you need it? People with disabilities would use a screen reader so they wouldn't need you to do it for them, you could design your webpage to be more screen reader friendly by adding tags and attributes that defines how the sound should be like, how the paragraph/table is read, what should and shouldn't be read, etc. \n\nIf you want to implement a pronunciation helper, like online dictionaries, just use a prerecorded sound. Embedding a prerecorded sound is easy.\n\nThe actual answer to your question is You can't. If they want their text to be read, they'll have to use a screen reader, you can't implement a screen reader software to webpages.

French music can be a good and funny tool to teach French. Music itself and figuring out what the 'song' means like a puzzle may create an enthusiasm in class.

I used to think that it was abunch of hooey. But I would say stick with it. You will be able to hear the small details in music . And the listening experience will be more rewarding for you. Also if you just get the very basic of harmony it makes learning music that you play (or sing) easier to read when you need to sight read. For instance if you understand the harmonic structure of a song and you need to learn it right away you can look at the chords and be able to read the melody with out fail. Don't be discourage keep at it.

What is dyslexia? \n\nDyslexia is a specific learning disability that is neurological in origin. It is characterized by difficulties with accurate and / or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities. These difficulties typically result from a deficit in the phonological component of language that is often unexpected in relation to other cognitive abilities and the provision of effective classroom instruction. Secondary consequences may include problems in reading comprehension and reduced reading experience that can impede growth of vocabulary and background knowledge.\n\nAdopted by the IDA Board of Directors, Nov. 12, 2002. This Definition is also used by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD).\n\nStudies show that individuals with dyslexia process information in a different area of the brain than do non-dyslexics.\n\nMany people who are dyslexic are of average to above average intelligence. \nAre there other learning disabilities besides dyslexia? \n\nDyslexia is one type of learning disability. Others include... \n\nDyscalculia - a mathematical disability in which a person has unusual difficulty solving arithmetic problems and grasping math concepts.\n\nDysgraphia - a neurological-based writing disability in which a person finds it hard to form letters or write within a defined space. \nAre Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) learning disabilities? \n\nNo, they are behavioral disorders.\n\nAn individual can have more than one learning or behavioral disability. In various studies as many as 50% of those diagnosed with a learning or reading difference have also been diagnosed with ADHD.\n\nAlthough disabilities may co-occur, one is not the cause of the other. \nHow common are language-based learning disabilities? \n\n15-20% of the population have a language-based learning disability.\n\nOf the students with specific learning disabilities receiving special education services, 70-80% have deficits in reading.\n\nDyslexia is the most common cause of reading, writing and spelling difficulties.\n\nDyslexia affects males and females nearly equally, and people from different ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds as well. \nCan individuals who are dyslexic learn to read? \n\nYes, if children who are dyslexic get effective phonological training in Kindergarten and 1st grade, they will have significantly fewer problems in learning to read at grade level than do children who are not identified or helped until 3rd grade.\n\n74% of the children who are poor readers in 3rd grade remain poor readers in the 9th grade. Often they can't read well as adults either.\n\nIt is never too late for individuals with dyslexia to learn to read, process and express information more efficiently. Research shows that programs utilizing multisensory structured language techniques can help children and adults learn to read. \nHow do people get dyslexia?\n\nThe causes for dyslexia are neurobiological and genetic. Individuals inherit the genetic links for dyslexia. Chances are that one of the child's parents, grandparents, aunts, or uncles is dyslexic. \n\nIs there a cure for dyslexia? \n\nNo, dyslexia is not a disease. There is no cure.\n\nWith proper diagnosis, appropriate instruction, hard work and support from family, teachers, friends, and others, individuals who are dyslexic can succeed in school and later as working adults. \nAre there specific professions people with dyslexia should pursue? \n\nNo, individuals can succeed in varied fields despite their dyslexia. Examples include: \n\nAnn Bancroft - First woman in history to cross the ice to both the North and South Poles.\nWeb site: http://www.yourexpedition.com\n\nDavid Boies - Trial lawyer whose high-profile clients have included former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, Jr., Napster, and the U.S. Justice Dept. in its antitrust suit against Microsoft.\n\nErin Brokovich - Real-life heroine who expose

Language and music are universal among human cultures. Both involve organized acoustic\nsequences and engage complex cognitive and motor processes. The relationship\nbetween language and music has long interested scholars across a broad range of disciplines,\nfrom linguistics to neuroscience.,scientists have proved a grate dynamic between language and music,by the way musicologists and linguists have often suggested that the prosody of a culture’s spoken language\ncan influence the structure of its instrumental music. However, empirical data supporting this idea\nhave been lacking. This has been partly due to the difficulty of developing and applying comparable\nquantitative measures to melody and rhythm in speech and music. This study uses a recently developed\nmeasure for the study of speech rhythm to compare rhythmic patterns in English and\nFrench language and classical music. We find that English and French musical themes are significantly\ndifferent in this measure of rhythm, which also differentiates the rhythm of spoken English\nand French.,so it is absolute interaction between music and learning language.

i have a son who is dyslexic and it made me realize that everything that we do on a daily basis involves language. unfortunately he feels that he is stupid because he has difficulty reading and writing but he is a mechanical genius.  what god takes away in one area he makes up for in another .  people who are rude about this have no compassion and if u ask me they are ignorant in their own way.

it is good when you can compose a music for you poems/lyrics... is actually as easy as ABC when you know the musical score of course, i did it for my fren for composing music for his lyrics, and it works... just try playing with your guitar or other instrument and someday you will find out that tone is nice and you will try to fit ur poems/lyrics into that music... it works for me actually... mayb you can try it out, good luck

Everyone's different.  That's the main thing.\n\nI was diagnosed as dyslexic when I was eight.  I'm in college now.  I take all my own notes, and make good grades (or did last I checked, which was semester before last - don't ask).  I've never liked to read, and generally can't make myself do it for more than a minute or two.  I run into problems just trying to read a few sentence word problem for physics, let alone 50 pages of Greek history, but I've learned ways to do well without doing much fo the reading.\n\nSpecial classes may have helped you.  I was in mainstream classes my whole life, though, so that's certainly not the only way to adapt.  But my mom is a psychologist with a lot of experience with learning disabilities, so that helped a lot.  To me, one of the main things was just that I've known since I was little that the reason I had trouble with certain things was that I was dyslexic, and not that I just wasn't smart enough.  I would think that being in special classes might have done the same thing for you (depending on the classes of course - being put in special classes can also have exactly the opposite effect on kids).\n\nDyslexia varies a lot in it's severity.  It's not really an all or nothing thing - there are different degrees of it.  Dyslexia is diagnosed basically based on a failure to learn certain skills (most notably reading) where there's no overall cognative deficit.  There are other diagnostic criteria that can be used, but the most common reason a kid is diagnosed as dyslexic is because based on their overall intelligence they should be reading at or above grade level, but they're significantly behind.  The thing is, there are a million and a half different physical anomilies that could cause that, so not all dyslexic kids are the same.\n\nShe might be more severely dyslexic than you are.  She may have given up trying when she was little because she was told she was stupid, rather than that she was dyslexic, so she's further behind now.  Or, as politically incorrect as this sounds, she may just not be as bright.  Also, some people do use it as an excuse to be lazy and get out of doing work.\n\nI'm rather tired right now, so that wasn't nearly as coherent or comprensive as I'd like it to be, but there's lots of information out there on dyslexia if you want to look for it.  One website I've come across that I like is:\nhttp://www.dys-add.com/index.html\nThere are even whole books written on dyslexia.  I don't know any off the top of my head, but I can find some titles when I'm home over Thanksgiving - just email me if you're interested :)

Everythings the same as you. The difference is that with dyslexia, your brain moves too fast for the rest of you (eyes, hands) so when they read, they will often "miss" whole sentences or parts of sentences. Their eyes have seen it but their brains are already ahead a couple of words. \n\nSame when they are writing. They will miss words because their hands are too slow for where their brain is up to in the sentence.
