Abstract

The worldwide prevalence of students diagnosed with specific learning difficulties (SLD) has increased over the past few decades. Education systems strive to include students with SLD in general classrooms through the implementation of various educational methods and adjustments to the teaching process, although often with limited learning outcomes. This chapter focuses on developmental dyslexia (DD) and explores its primary characteristics while delving into the attitudes, misconceptions, and lack of training among teachers, as their approach significantly impacts the education of students with DD. By describing the key attributes of DD and identifying the resulting learning challenges for students, the chapter puts forth suggested teaching methods and practices based on the current literature. These approaches encompass differentiated instruction, implicit learning, the use of Information and Communication Technologies, multisensory teaching, and student-centered group work.
