Bilingualism & Dyslexia

There are many misconceptions surrounding dyslexia. Bilingual dyslexics can be successful and bi-literate.Bilingualism is the ability to speak two languages. It may be acquired early by children in regions where most adults speak two languages or when a child is raised with parents or parents who use their L1 at home.✅Research findings prove that people with dyslexia who are bilingual outperform their monolingual peers. However, they experience difficulties in their schooling.✅Bilingual dyslexic students can experience different severities depending on the language systems. A child whose first language is Italian will have mild deficits with their L1, whereas they will struggle with English or French because those languages are more phonetically complex.If you are a parent or an educator, please bear it in mind: Dyslexic Bilingual students should be taught to read and write in their L1 because this will give them strong foundations in L2, and yes, they can be successful and bi-literate !✔️ There are many misconceptions in the ELT world, and dyslexic ESL students are often accommodated instead of receiving the intervention. ✔️ Join my course waitlist, and you will receive a 10 % off; plus, you will receive my E-book Dyslexia in the ESL classroom and my recorded webinars & more !📢 https://lnkd.in/gDtZcfQE#dyslexia #esl #teachersoflinkedin #getunstuckwithyourenglish #angielskionline #dysleksja #literacy #education #evidencebasedpractice
