If a child has been showing dyslexia symptoms from an early age teachers should take note and handle the child accordingly. A child with dyslexia has different educational requirements and with his own strengths and weaknesses. Particular attention has to be paid to these children in school as they experience learning difficulties not normally associated with others of their own age. All teachers should be given at least rudimentary dyslexia training since it is not uncommon to find some dyslexia students in their class.
Multi sensory teaching which uses visual, auditory as well as kinesthetic memories has been found to be the best for teaching dyslexia children. Children should be taught phonological awareness from an early age which can be in the form of games so that they do not get discouraged by their apparent lack of letter/word comprehension and are able to develop these skills by and by. They should also be encouraged and praised for their imagination, thinking and creativity. It is very important that their other abilities are not sidelined and they are made to realize that learning to read and write is only one way of reflective learning. Dyslexia support can be given to students during exam times by providing extra time and breaks. Their papers can be checked not by focusing on spelling but on their thinking and reasoning.

Without proper training the teachers are unable to recognize the symptoms and thus cannot offer the support required to these children.
