Nessy Philosophy
-
Made by Mike Jones and Tiffany James
Why are we doing this?
Our Goal
- 1.Educate and inform teachers how to recognise dyslexia and how to help dyslexic children
- 2.Encourage every school to give all children a quick dyslexia test (screening) when they start school, to identify an appropriate level of support
- 3.Provide, affordable, individualised, differentiated learning for everyone
How are we going to bring about change?
The Nessy Approach To Learning
Learning with games and rewards is motivational and engaging and therefore more effective.
Core Beliefs
There is no fault in the child. The defect is an instructional one.
Prevention is better than intervention
Dyslexia is a learning difference that needs a different approach.
Don't waste a good brain - have high expectations.
Using assistive technology helps but should not replace good teaching.
Not being able to read is disabling.
Dyslexics are normal people.
Dyslexia is a positive label.
Vision therapy does not work for dyslexia.
Remember...
- Learning happens when it is fun and motivational
- Learning happens when it is structured and guided
- Learning happens when it is explained in a way that uses learning strengths
