The Importance of Teaching Sounds and Letter Names in Dyslexia
In this episode of 'Today's with Dyslexia,' Michelle Morgan, a speech-language pathologist, explores the essential difference between letter names and sounds in language learning. She explains why understanding this difference is particularly crucial for children with dyslexia. Michelle also discusses the triple word form theory (Phonology, Orthography, Meaning) and why some teachers have, unfortunately, moved away from teaching letter names. Through various research citations, she validates the need to teach both letter names and sounds for effective literacy development. Tune in for insights and strategies to help struggling readers become more confident learners.
