Focusing
I know I have spoke about this before, but it is so important to focus on things. I had taken my eye off the ball in my core business my window film company. Since I have refocused my efforts on upgrading the website which is still got some way to go, but to have a successful website it will always be changing. I know this sounds a bit weird since I have been remembering to take my omega 3 tablets and eaten more oily fish my memory has become a lot better. The other day I had a text come in and I normally hate them but on this occasion I looked at it, was quite a long text for me anyway the clarity I had at that moment was earthshattering by read the whole text with no problem a all.
Flash cards is a good way to learn
Take a look at this article. Click Here When I was learning phonics I found flash cards was a good way of getting the word into my long term memory. It’s very true to use the flash cards in short bursts and leave 24 hours till the next time. And to have the weekends off especially if it’s children you are helping.
Everyone has Greatness within Them
It’s easy to forget how amazing our brains are we all have greatness running through us. It’s just easy to forget from time to time. Dyslexic brains think in a completely different way so that means we will think out the box and we are amazing lateral thinkers. Our brains are designed that way we just have to believe in ourselves. That’s why I say Everyone has Greatness within Them when you believe that your life will never be the same again believe in yourself, and Nothing is Impossible. Dyslexic Entrepreneur

My Snowy Day
When the snow came down last night driving back from Dover, got to one village away from home and had to park the car and walk the other 2 miles home. This morning had some superb porridge which then gave me the energy to go out and clear the road so we could get up the hill. After that we decided to walk back to the car to see how the roads were which was fine because the snow plough had been through the village. Drove the car back home getting down the hill onto the drive and waited for the next snowfall then I was really lazy what’s the good Hercule Poirot film. Then thought I should do some work cleared my e-mails and wrote some twitters but didn’t do a lot really. I did make amazing vegetable soup but I would say it’s amazing wouldn’t I. The one thing I noticed about today I had a lot of brain fog must be the cold. More snow forecast overnight have got to drive to Herne Bay tomorrow, will see if the snow lets me will have to do some real work comes to all of us eventually.

DYSLEXIA CAN MAKE KIDS DEAF
Study may improve teaching
Dyslexia can affect youngsters’ hearing as well as reading ability, scientists have claimed.
Kids with the condition have difficulty listening to teachers above background classroom noise.
The findings could see new ways of diagnosing sufferers based on hearing tests. It may also see them put at the front of class or provided with wireless devices to pick up information better.
Research leader Prof Nina Kraus, of Northwestern University, illinois, US, said: “It brings us closer to understanding sensory processing in children who experience difficulty excluding irrelevant noise.
“It provides an index that can help in assessing children with reading problems.” UK experts said the study could help schools improve how they taught dyslexics.
One in 10 of the British population is thought to suffer to some degree.
Dr Kate Saunders of the British Dyslexia Association said: “A range of research demonstrates the way dyslexic individuals process auditory material is different to non-dyslexic learners.
“Teachers should be made aware of these differences to plan how best to help these children.”
In the study, both dyslexic kids with poor reading and pupils without the condition were made to listen to a repeated sound amid a noisy background. Prof Kraus said: “The ability to fine-tune repeating elements is crucial to hearing speech in noise.”
Colleague Dr Bharath Chandrasekaran, added: “Good readers tuned into the sound and sharpened it. Poor readers did not.”
2 MILLION adults in the UK suffer from severe dyslexia
