Reading Instruction Education dyslexia compensatory strategies The goal of this study was to obtain self-generated, compensatory strategies for reading from students with dyslexia using a recorded, semi-structured interview format. Built into the study were questions to gain perspective of the student with dyslexia's experiences in the classroom, especially in regard to teacher and peer responses to dyslexia and how these responses affected self-esteem. Individual interviews were presented as case studies. Data was analyzed for individual as well as common themes among participants, used to answer two research questions: What is the self-esteem of students with dyslexia based on their self-concept of teachers and peers? What strategies are students diagnosed with dyslexia developing to compensate for reading? Five individuals of unpredicted gender, one in middle school, two in high school, and two in college, who had been diagnosed with dyslexia, participated in this study. Data analysis revealed students with dyslexia convey positive self-esteem when they feel supported by their teachers and parents. Peer support (or non-support) does not appear to play a significant role in determining a student with dyslexia's self-esteem. Data analysis also showed students with dyslexia acquire a variety of compensatory strategies including reading, writing, and word recognition strategies; organization and note-taking strategies; memory aids and math strategies; and advocacy strategies, all aiding in meaningful learning. 2014-08-08 English text Bowling Green State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1399557937 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1399557937 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
