My dyslexia strategies

Many people with dyslexia develop strategies to help them with areas of difficulty.

What strategies do you use?

Can you imagine me being dyslexia as a medical student while my family didn’t want me to seek for a professional help? It’s very hard going through all these years by myself reading every page of a book very slowly😢, being bullied for always repeating every line that i’ve read just to understand it and not to lose the paragraph line. I, who are very slow at remembering fast speaking of words/numbers while your teacher (doctor) is very sensitive when you asked him/her to repeat/confirm the medicine doses one more time.😢

Assistive technology was a game changer! Use it! It made me independent in school and I didn’t have to rely on someone to spell things for me or lose my train of thought trying to figure out how to spell a word on my own.

I'm after some advice from fellow dylexics, I'm trying to read a book.. I can read all the words fine as my dyslexia isnt too bad but I'm having a problem with getting the sentences to register in my brain what I've just read,
I read a few pages and then not remember much of what I've just read,
I think it's possible because I'm trying too hard to focus on reading it correctly then actually taking it into my brain on what the book is saying to me,
I seem to skip words when reading and then i presume what the following words are going to say and then the sentences don't make any sense so I have to reread em again and I think that is messing my flow up where I'm spending too much time rereading the sentences then actually taking it in, as I said I can read all the words fine its something to do with the way I'm reading is wrong...

I'm after some tips that might help, like...

Would reading it very slowly (like in slow mo) be more beneficial so I can read every word writin and not change the sentences to what I think it's about to say

Would it help if I Read a page quickly to see what it's talking about and then reread the whole page again to absorb the information better

Reading the book aloud as I find it easier then reading in my head

Anybody got anymore tips that can help, thanks

I can't able to think further and memories in reading is impossible for me to do that
If I can't able to spell the sentence correctly I did repeat the sentence for more than 25 time to get satisfaction on that. Iam cursed person 😣😫😢😢

Dear British Dyslexia association- please can you do a kick ass video about ‘Low Latent Inhibition’. It is very good for empowering and understanding dyslexic people (& self-understanding self advocacy, self-compassion)?

I’m at the point of just give up teaching reading. At this point nothing is going on so I’m just wasting my breath and time. Don’t know what else to do?
