Jordan
Dyslexia Assessment/Reading Program
Second Edition
Dale R. Jordan
The Jordan
Dyslexia Assessment / Reading Program brings together current knowledge
from the "decade of the brain" about how the brain learns and remembers.
This program begins by identifying layers of overlapping problems that
interfere with learning to read. The Jordan Dyslexia Assessment/Reading
Program reviews the critical role that emotions and feelings play in learning
or failing to learn. New information about how permanent memory develops
and why certain individuals fail to remember also is included.
Before they
start teaching reading skills, instructors discover how each student learns,
or fails to learn, by using 11 screening tests that identify specific
reasons why individuals struggle with reading skills:
- Jordan
Test For Visual Dyslexia
- Jordan
Auditory Dyslexia Test
- Jordan
Test For Dysgraphia
- Jordan
Test For Dyscalculia
- Jordan
Test For Reading Vision
- Jordan
Oral Screening Test Of Phonics
- Jordan
Learning Style Scale
- Jordan
Attention Deficit Scale
- Jordan
Rate Of Learning Scale
- Jordan
Asperger's Syndrome Scale (Nonverbal LD)
- Jordan
Scale For Seld (Social-Emotional LD)
With this
information, both students and instructors understand why previous encounters
with literacy skills were ineffective. Understanding why learning has
been difficult replaces old dread and fear of learning with hope. Knowing
how to learn to read makes it possible to approach reading safely without
fear of failure.
The Jordan
Dyslexia Assessment/Reading Program guides students step by step through
carefully structured lessons that integrate four learning modalities:
sight, speech, hearing, touch. Each of the 75 lessons includes structured
review of previous skills, introduction of a new literacy skill, and follow-up
practice to build permanent memory of that skill. In each lesson, the
student is taught word analysis through seeing the word, saying it, hearing
it, and writing or typing it. This procedure allows dyslexic individuals
to compensate for problems that normally block reading and spelling skills.
TARGET GROUP:
Students of any age who show signs of dyslexia.
