MOE Helps Children with Dyslexia
Are you frustrated because your child is still having difficulties in learning the alphabet when most of his peers are already reading story books? Are you trying every strategy available just to help your child learn how to read? Maybe it’s time for you to relax because your child may just be suffering from dyslexia.
Dyslexia is a learning disability that is a result of a neurological defect. Children who have this condition find it hard to read, write and spell. So a child who has dyslexia will still have difficulties in reading, writing and spelling even if he is very intelligent and diligent. It’s really sad, isn’t it?
But there’s good news for parents. According to The Straits Times, the Ministry of Education (MOE) is going to provide schools with qualified teachers who can help children with learning disabilities. As of now, there are three primary schools that can provide support for children with dyslexia. These schools will also equip parents so they can meet their children’s needs appropriately.

Dyslexia IS sad, but it’s not the end of the world and it can be overcome – there are lots of very successful dyslexics out there!
But dyslexic children do benefit from specialist teaching methods, and I think it’s great that the MOE is taking these positive steps.
Sadly, however, it does seem to be the case that dyslexics are very often overlooked and denied the opportunity to fulfill their potential. I work for a social enterprise that provides a reading scheme to help dyslexic children learn to read at home – you can read some feedback from parents here:

If you have a dyslexic child, don’t give up! There are lots of resources out there that can help, and with the right guidance, support and intervention, your child has a good chance of succeeding.
