Dyslexic students have difficulty remembering words, no matter how frequently they see them. Even if they can learn to read them, spelling is likely to be a problem. Therefore we have to devise other ways of learning words than by just looking at them. The three other ways of learning the language are through the motor-memory system, the auditory sense, and the intelligence. The motor-memory, known as the kinesthetic sense, is a very strong kind of memory.
Nobody ever forgets how to swim or ride a bicycle once they have mastered the skill.
For this reason the careful teaching of cursive handwriting is an important part of remediation. In a sense, the hand will teach the brain. The movement of the hand in writing and tracing and forming letters in the air or on a table provides reinforcement, as do the movements of the speech organs. As the student writes a letter, he says the name or the sound. The second pathway to learning for the dyslexic is the auditory.
