Learning in your own world 🌍 | Day 30 of dyslexia awareness month

A few years back during a break for one of my speeches, a girl came up to me, worry in her eyes, telling me that she had a spelling test tomorrow. She asked me if I had any tips for learning better?
I asked back what is your hobbies? She looked at me weird and said what has started to do with anything? I said he has to do with everything. What is your hobbies and interests? She said she likes beads and horses. I said perfect. Go home and create the letters in beads. Then you will go up to your horse and draw on your horse with your finger. The letters that you are learning pay attention to how the horse is reacting the feeling you get writing on the horse the smell etc. Her eyes let up understanding the task I gave her, I spoke to her language in her own world so learning made sense for her. Then I said to her forget about the test tomorrow you can do that one later, but you need to communicate with your teacher about it, but promise me that you make those letters regardless.

A week later, I was back to the same place, a teacher came up to me and asked are you Mads? I said yes I am. She looked at me and asked what the fuck did you do? The girl had gained so much confidence that she had told everyone about her diagnosis and how she was using her horse to learn. Even her grades had changed just in a week. I answered. Oh, I just spoke her language. 😉 then the teacher thanked me.☺️ how can you bring learning into your world? ✨
