09.01.2022 Anne Castles was a great key note speaker at the recent Learning Support conference in Brisbane. http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2012//03/3559348.htm

09.01.2022 What is so GREAT about Dyslexia? They are not great inspite of Dyslexia, they are great because of Dyslexia! Did you know that some of the most amazing people ...who walked this earth had a hard time in the classroom? Maybe you have a dyslexic child who is having trouble in school. Cheer up, the future is quite bright for those who invest in the talents that come in a package called " Dyslexia". The key is to focus on the childs gift, not on their problems. Listen to what a few famous and succesful Dyslexics have to say about their challenges and how they overcame them: If you can dream it, you can do it. - Walt Disney A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty. -Winston Churchill A teacher sent the following note home with a six-year-old boy: He is too stupid to learn. That boy was Thomas A. Edison. - Thomas Edison Passion is the great slayer of adversity. Focus on strengths and what you enjoy. - Charles Schwab I was, on the whole, considerably discouraged by my school days. It was not pleasant to feel oneself so completely outclassed and left behind at the beginning of the race. - Winston Churchill Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere. - Albert Einstein Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time. -Thomas A. Edison Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world. - Albert Einstein You should prefer a good scientist without literary abilities than a literate one without scientific skills. - Leonardo da Vinci My mother was the making of me. She was so true, so sure of me and I felt I had someone to live for, someone I must not disappoint. - Thomas Edison He told me that his teachers reported that . . . he was mentally slow, unsociable, and adrift forever in his foolish dreams. - Hans Albert Einstein (Albert Einsteins father) My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her. - George Washington Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I learn. Involve me and I remember. - Benjamin Franklin If, at first, an idea is not absurd, there is no hope for it. - Albert Einstein Your brain is much better than you think; just use it! - Leonardo Da Vinci By logic and reason we die hourly. By imagination we live. - William Butler Yeats My problem was reading very slowly. My parents said Take as long as you need. As long as youre going to read, just keep at it. We didnt know about learning disabilities back then. - Roger Wilkins (head of the Pulitzer Prize Board) Before you can do something that youve never done, you have to be able to imagine it is possible. - Jean Shinoda Bolen Its not that Im so smart, its just that I stay with problems longer. - Albert Einstein Its kind of fun to do the impossible. - Walt Disney If we all did the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves. - Thomas Edison The looks, the stares, the giggles . . . I wanted to show everybody that I could do better and also that I could read. - Magic Johnson He did not speak until the age of three and teachers labeled him mentally slow. -Albert Einstein It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things. -Leonardo da Vinci I felt like an alien. I always felt like I never belonged to any group that I wanted to belong to. -Steven Spielberg I couldnt read. I just scraped by. My solution back then was to read classic comic books because I could figure them out from the context of the pictures. Now I listen to books on tape. - Charles Schwab I hated school . . . . One of the reasons was a learning disability, dyslexia, which no one understood at the time. I still cant spell . . . - Loretta Young I was one of the puzzle children myself a dyslexic . . . And I still have a hard time reading today. Accept the fact that you have a problem. Refuse to feel sorry for yourself. You have a challenge; never quit! - Nelson Rockefeller I had to train myself to focus my attention. I became very visual and learned how to create mental images in order to comprehend what I read. - Tom Cruise, actor I have not failed. Ive just found 10,000 ways that wont work. - Thomas A. Edison If I wasnt dyslexic, I probably wouldnt have won the Games. If I had been a better reader, then that would have come easily, sports would have come easily and I never would have realized that the way you get ahead in life is hard work. - Bruce Jenner Having made a strenuous effort to understand the symbols he could make nothing of, he wept giant tears . . . - Caroline Commanville, (talking about her uncle, Gustave Flaubert) Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference. -Winston Churchill I, myself, was always recognized . . . as the slow one in the family. It was quite true, and I knew it and accepted it. Writing and spelling were always terribly difficult for me. My letters were without originality. I was . . . an extraordinarily bad speller and have remained so until this day. - Agatha Christie Do you want to know who you are? Dont ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you. -Thomas Jefferson I barely made it through school. I read real slow. But I like to find things that nobody else has found, like a dinosaur egg that has an embryo inside. Well, there are 36 of them in the world, and I found 35. - Dr. John R. Horner (American paleontologist) Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. - Thomas A. Edison Willie was sent to lessons in spelling and grammar, but he never learned to spell. To the end of his life he produced highly idiosyncratic versions of words. - Biographer A. Norman Jeffares ( talking about William Butler Yeats) I grew up in a school system . . . where nobody understood the meaning of learning disorder. In the West Indies, I was constantly being physically abused because the whipping of students was permitted. - Harry Belafonte I never did anything by accident, nor did any of my inventions come by accident; they came by work. - Thomas A. Edison The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding. -Leonardo da Vinci Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation. It is better be alone than in bad company. -George Washington Difficulties mastered are opportunities won. -Winston Churchill Many times I can see a solution to something differently and quicker than other people. I see the end zone and say This is where I want to go. - Charles Schwab I am, myself, a very poor visualizer and find that I can seldom call to mind even a single letter of the alphabet in purely retinal terms. I must trace the letter by running my mental eye over its contour in order that the image of it shall leave any distinctness at all. - William James ( psychologist and philosopher) Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius. -Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart We should not look back unless it is to derive useful lessons from past errors, and for the purpose of profiting by dearly bought experience. -George Washington Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep. - Scott Adams (Cartoonist) Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school. - Albert Einstein Young George . . . although he was bright and intelligent and bursting with energy, he was unable to read and write. Pattons wife corrected his spelling, his punctuation, and his grammar. - Biographer Martin Blumenson (talking about General George Patton) A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new. - Albert Einstein As a child, I was called stupid and lazy. On the SAT I got 159 out of 800 in math. My parents had no idea that I had a learning disability. - Henry Winkler (actor) I was dyslexic before anybody knew what dyslexia was. I was called slow. Its an awful feeling to think of yourself as slow its horrible. - Robert Benton Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing. -Thomas Jefferson I pay no attention whatever to anybodys praise or blame. I simply follow my own feelings. - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart I was very active but I was dyslexic and had a really hard time at school. - Ashley Scott I always felt a bit alone and isolated from other peopleI did a lot of pretending as a child. It was my way of coping with the fact that I didnt feel like I fit in. - Keneau Reeves When a man does all he can, though it succeeds not well, blame not him that did it. - George Washington Most people say that is it is the intellect which makes a great scientist. They are wrong: it is character. -Albert Einstein Failure in school does not mean failure in life. - Steven J. Cannell(TV producer) I never worry about action, but only inaction. - Winston Churchill If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it? - Albert Einstein I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. -Albert Einstein "Continuous effort, not strength or intelligence is the key to unlocking our potential" -Winston Churchill Dyslexics are brilliant and many will learn to read, with or without therapy.

08.01.2022 "A growth mindset is when a student believes that their abilities can be developed... if you engage deeply and effectively in a learning process - you can learn anything!
