All children learn and develop at their own pace. It’s common for them to find reading challenging at one point or another. But if learning to read becomes an ongoing struggle, it’s possible that a child has a learning disorder known as dyslexia. Dyslexia affects a child’s ability to recognize and manipulate the sounds in language. In this webinar, we are talking mainly about reading and writing, reading programs which are really effective and popular in Europe and the USA. We are also talking about ADHD which often occurs with dyslexia. For dyslexic students, any test or exam is always a stress. In this webinar, we discuss the special requirements made by Cambridge English for dyslexic students. Do they have any extra time? Can they use the spellcheck? Can someone read the tasks for them? Any extra breaks? We will answer these questions and try to dispel the myth that English exam is impossible for dyslexic students.
