  Dyslexia for a Day: A Simulation of Dyslexia is a kit that can be used by individuals or groups of experienced teachers, teacher training candidates, practitioners, and others interested in learning more about dyslexia and what those with dyslexia often experience with reading, writing and processing. The kit walks participants through five different simulations: two reading, two writing and one processing simulation. It is designed to help individuals gain a better understanding of and empathy for those children and adults who struggle with dyslexia. Kit includes DVD, Handbook, & simulation masters. Handbook has eight chapters. The first chapter explains how one can use the handbook and DVD. Chapters 2-6 provides step-by-step directions to facilitate the simulations. Chapter t is a copy of the PowerPoint used in Simulation 5. Chapter 8 lists Resources. The DVD contains interviews of two students with dyslexia and their mothers; a group of participants experiencing the simulations; and a PowerPoint presentation required for the fifth simulation. Copies of the masters are also included in the Handbook.
