Abstract
As an educator there are many elements to focus on within the classroom. One important aspect is to understand and recognize the experiences of students. Students with dyslexia face particular challenges, how they interact with the curriculum, their teacher, and their peers dramatically impacts how they navigate these challenges. Research has shown students with dyslexia tend to have a reduced self of esteem, difficulty with executive functioning, require longer processing time, and need individualized instruction. Teachers that actively seek to know their students as people and learners are able to adapt instruction to further meet the needs of the students, which will then lead to pathways of learning and positive experiences. Knowing and responding to the needs of students with dyslexia is particularly important. The research focuses on the experience of students with dyslexia. The purpose of this qualitative study was to learn about the experience of students with dyslexia. The study examined the following research questions: RQ1: How do students with dyslexia understand their learning difference? RQ2: How does dyslexia impact their school experience? How do students with dyslexia experience the roles of their teachers in their learning? How do students with dyslexia describe their experiences with reading supports outside of the regular classroom?
