Dyslexia Hearing Instructions

A dyslexic child may not understand instructions, so they do not complete a task or activity. It can appear that they are not trying or don't want to follow instructions.

The child may not be able to follow instructions, because they struggle with:

• Verbal instructions
• Long words
• Lack of pictures
• Large chuck of information
• Unable to ask questions

Dyslexia can affect memory and the speed a child can take in information. Dyslexic children learn best using multi-sensory learning, to learn more see:
