To tell or NOT to tell teachers? June 3, 2015 19:57
Yes....please parents inform school teachers, tuition teachers, uztad/uztazah dan siapa2 yg directly involved dlm perkembangan pendidikan anak2 disleksik kita.
Do not fear yg cikgu2 tdk faham apa itu disleksia and may label our child slow learner, mental problem, pelik sikit because they are not aware, kurang pengetahuan dan exposure ttg our talented and special child. Jadi parents, we educate them as it not only benefits our child but also ramai anak2 pintar yg lain who are struggling dlm 4M (membaca, mengira, menulis, menaakul) di dlm kelas. Its a win win situation.
Why inform teachers? 3 reasons:
1) So that teachers are prepared, aware and update you on yr child's progress in school HONESTLY! Selalunya kalau pre-school cg2 akan buat kerja sekolah utk anak2 kita krn takut mrk disoal oleh ibubapa.
2) Anak2 disleksia memerlukan perhatian dan pendekatan yg berbeza dlm proses pembelajaran; therefore teachers need to understand anak tidak blh menguasai proses pembelajaran tradisional didlm kelas mereka. DONT TEACH THEM SLOWLY, BUT TEACH THEM DIFFERENTLY.
3) Galakkan cg utk memberi puji2an dlm bidang bukan akademik, fokus kpd usaha2 yg telah dilakukan dan bukan hasilnya. Give credit in every baby step that they accomplish.
