About the Event
We have a broad spectrum of learners in our classrooms, but there are times that we do not always know how to reach students with needs that we don’t fully understand. This presentation will give a basic understanding of Dyslexia and will provide a springboard for ideas to help your students. Music educators leaving this presentation can expect to
- Gain a better understanding of how the presentation of colored highlighting can aid students who present traits of dyslexia.
- Create a code for students using color coding and fingering notation, based off the open communication of how the student takes in music notation.
- Facilitate the gradual release of responsibility from teacher to student.
