How to study when you know that you have secondry dyslexia?

Question

i am 17 years old.

Answer 1

Audio books do help, and you can speed them up so you can listen faster, but it still sounds good, it just sounds faster.  Try www.rfbd.org.  It's Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic, and they say that your comprehension will improve in just six weeks if you listen while you read along in the book.

Also, a lot of famous, successful people have dyslexia, so you shouldn't feel like it will hold you back.  It didn't stop Tom Cruise, Cher or Nolan Ryan.

And you may be able to get your school to assign a reading specialist to you, so you can learn tricks in reading to help you, like underlining words that are tough, or drawing a little bridge top of a word from the start to the finish, to help your eye link the word together.

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

Depends how bad it is? I'm dyslexic, but not badly -- I just type out words that rhyme rather than the word I need, and such. I think audio books would help if you can get them, but those take a much longer time than reading. I guess just study the same, but scan the sentence to make sure it makes sense in your head when you're reading.
