Dorothy (Teacher at Rare Gem Talent School)

Here you have to teach differently, even the teaching strategies and methods, they are very different from other schools.

We use the hands-on materials, hands-on activities, visuals like videos, because dyslexic learners or learners with different learning abilities, they learn differently.

well with materials and play and we use visuals mostly we use materials like the flashcards we use the counters we use other materials that the learners are able to see not just writing you they have to see what you mean.

The materials on my table right now, I was using in my last class that I did today.

So as you can see, these blocks are very colored, right?

I have to use beautiful materials.

So this one, I use them for mathematics, for counting.

It's very rare.

I have not seen any other school like this in Kenya.

But I hope there will be many schools like this in Kenya because we have many learners in Kenya who are going through dyslexia silently.

They are learning.

I joined the school when I was a little boy, 10, 11 years.

The school is a bit good school.

Teachers here at this school, the teachers, according to your speed, not like the other teachers are teaching according to their system and time.

Life was a bit tough.

Teachers were beating me because I was not doing assignments.

Students were bullying me because I didn't know how to read and write.

And I didn't know I had dyslexia.

Now when I read, I do not see the words if they are upside down.

I see if they are clear.
