RAISE STUDENTS’ SELF-ESTEEM AND LOWER THEIR ANXIETY

Help students see their strengths with these practical lessons and tools that are designed for flexibility in your schedule, whether you work one on one with a child, in a small group setting or in a classroom setting. Complete a lesson each day,  a lesson each week, or part of a lesson each day, whatever schedule works best for you.

During each fifteen-minute lesson, students will:

  • Meet a fun and relatable character that emphasizes a strength of people with dyslexia (Rosie the Resilient, Ivan the Innovator, and Carl the Connector).

  • Read and discuss a children’s book about that strength.

  • Highlight their own personal strengths by adding them to a Strengths Bubble Map.

  • Hear an inspirational story about a person with dyslexia from Brilliantly Dyslexic by Liz Trudeau.

  • Have the opportunity to extend their learning through additional resources and activities.

Along with these guided lessons, Brilliant Strengths includes extensive lists of children’s literature to get students excited about reading and recommended resources on dyslexia, brain and executive function, and ADHD.
