Sopori Staff Gains Insight into Dyslexia through Simulation
According to the International Dyslexia Association, between 15% and 20% of people are estimated to have some form of dyslexia, with most cases going undiagnosed.
At Sopori Elementary School, staff members are working to understand dyslexia through simulation exercises. Led by Principal Jan Spooner, teachers participated in activities such as reading words backward and using their non-dominant hand to write and trace letters and lines, mimicking the experience of a student with dysgraphia, a form of dyslexia.
- Teachers used their non-dominant hand to write and trace letters and lines.
- Staff members covered their dominant hand and used a mirror to trace shapes.
