Dyslexia Resources- PowerPoint & Screener
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC
Rating
0.0 stars

I know a LOT about Dyslexia-both in a personal level and a professional level. It goes UNDIAGNOSED in thousands of people across all ages. Within Corrections, the percentage of students we serve with Dyslexia is incredibly high. Recent Federal legislation has opened the door to reforms- but this emphasis hasn't taken on importance yet in the state that I reside in.
I am a Microsoft Geek- that is the biggest resource that has been available for me to use in adult ed. I have a PowerPoint that explains some basic facts about Dyslexia. Plus a self-made Dyslexia Screener that I put together by combing through several online resources.
The out of pocket cost for the ed psych testing my child needed to diagnose dyslexia & dyscalculia was close to $2,000. Our students most likely didn't ever have the money to pay for that, nor will they. Please do what you can to research on your own! You can find ways to help. If you need suggestions, comb through more of my resources.

ESL Powerpoints converted from English to Spanish

0.0 stars

Working within Correctional Education, I have had many students who were LEP/ ESL and had great language barriers. I have had other tutor/workers who were extremely skilled and fluent in both languages. I asked my tutor worker to convert some of the English sentences in these random PowerPoints into Spanish. We are able to give students the GED exams in Spanish where I work.

ESL or LEP Mini Books / Dyslexia

COVID19 Project!
I have several LEP students right now that don't quite have extra time to come down to study in person in the school. I worked up some neat templates to create simple mini-books that highlight common things here in America. Workers, Health Issues, Transportation, etc...
The PLA training materials explain how the language experience approach can help adult learners master this language.
This resource is for just that. Take one or two of the mini-books and use them in your classes.
They are EASY to modify using Microsoft Word. They are EASY to print if you follow the directions I set on the cover page.
I plan to issue one book at a time to my students, when they can read it well I will give them a different book.

Educational Trivia for ABE/ GED/ Adult Ed

I used Wikipedia & Wikivoyage (RACHEL PROGRAMS) that we have available for our Correctional Ed Students. [No Internet, EVER for them fyi.] These trivia programs I tend to hold periodically throughout the year. I like to hold them around the holidays since they are rather depressed.
If your students have the full internet, they will be NO challenge for them. But with limited resources, they might take interest in some of the trivia here. It is mostly Geographical.
We gave out small prizes for the most correct, requiring complete sentences in their answers.

I have spent the past five or so years giving conference presentations on the topics of learning disabilities, technology, use of visuals and media. I am a seasoned teacher of Adult Basic Education within Corrections.
I am hoping that someone can find a few ideas here they may want to build into their own curriculum.
These are PowerPoint collections mostly.
The conferences I shared them at were CEA, or Correctional Education Association and our State GED / Literacy Conference.
