Abstract
This article reviews the body of research on difficulties faced by dyslexic students in educational setup and different teaching methods which played an effective role in enhancing the learning skills of the students. First, we explore the assessment of comprehension and reading difficulties of these students at initial stages. Next we discuss the methodology used in reviewing the literature on different instructional methods for the students with specific focus on dyslexic students. Next we review the body of studies involving instructional methods for improving the comprehension and reading abilities of the students. This is followed by the research on techniques for improving the academic abilities. We conclude with a discussion of ongoing issues in the field with regards to identification, assessment and providing early intervention to dyslexic students, the need to include other computer assisted techniques like teach multiple strategies to students with specific focus on the “visual strategy”.
