123 dEcode® for Math Answers
The most frequently asked question is:
1. My child is dyslexic. Can dEcode® help when so many other programs
have failed?
Yes. The dEcode® method is unique and is perfectly suitable
for helping learners with dyslexia.
For math and reading, the dEcode® method is sensitive to each
individual's needs to ensure minute step by step increments of awareness
in developing the visual
and auditory processing required
for automaticity.
2. Is dEcode® suitable for adults?
Yes. This is because it gets at the underlying processing deficits
affecting reading, further language development, as well as math.
3. Is the ability to read tied in with an individuals IQ?
No. There is no correlation between IQ and reading decoding. People
with IQ's in the Superior range can have difficulty with decoding, just
as people who are in the average range or below.
4. Does this mean that even with average or below intelligence, a person
should be able to read?
Absolutely. But remember, we are talking about dEcoding®.
Reading comprehension is dependent upon oral comprehension once the student
can decode.
5. Is there a similarity between a Math Learning Disability and reading
difficulties?
There can be:
- For example, students with dyslexia will have difficulty with
signs of operations and word problems.
- Short term memory problems can affect the retention of sounds
and symbols in the same way that it can prevent the learning of basic
computational skills.
- Visual patterning problems, visual processing problems, and sequencing
problems can affect retention and visualization of reading decoding
as well as the learning of multi step calculations in math and accuracy
of computation.
