Abstract:

Dyslexia is a learning disability in which student’s accurate and fluent word reading and / or spelling develops very incompletely or with great difficulty. Dyslexia is language acquisition disability and students suffering from dyslexia fall substantially below expected levels of their age and education in the reading, writing and spellings. Children with reading problems react emotionally, become frustrated, loose their self-esteem and develop a negative self-image. Researches have shown that these students cannot be educated with the help of ordinary teaching methods. In this paper an alternative method that is Eclectic Method is discussed which can be used to help dyslexic students. Eclectic means not following any one system, but selecting and using what are considered the best elements of all systems. A teacher may choose two or three approaches that provide broad–range remedial instructions. Different researchers have used different broad range approaches for developing eclectic method. Maximum researcher have used Alphabetic Phonic Method, Behavioral Modification Method and Multisensory Structured Linguistic Method for this purpose.
