A reading clinician and English as an Additional Language teacher in Western School Division, Southwest Manitoba, Valdine Bjornson frequently uses the Handwriting Without Tears app when working with students suffering from dyslexia. It’s designed to improve handwriting, but can also have a big impact on those who struggle with reading.

“If you always write the letter the same, if it is consistent and automatic, that lowers the cognitive barrier,” she says. “When you don’t have to think about that part of it, it opens a gateway to reading and writing in general.”

Technology can be a classroom boon for those who are dyslexic. Computer-based experiences can promote social emotional learning, ensuring kids who have trouble with reading are not left behind or feel out of step with their peers. Apps can also play a role in promoting reading skills for those who need extra help along the way.
