If so, you need this post!<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Children with autism often have difficulty learning to read and spell using standard methods because their brains process information in unique ways. <\/p><!--more-->\r\n\r\n<p>For example, some children with autism think in pictures instead of words. Many have problems recalling strings of words or multi-step instructions. And differentiating between certain sounds can be difficult for those with autism, which can make learning to read especially difficult.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Fortunately, our step-by-step, multisensory techniques actively engage children in the learning process and make learning to read and spell much easier.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>6 Tips for Teaching Kids with Autism<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Following are six important tips for teaching children with autism how to read and spell.<\/p>\r\n <ol class=\"large green-blue\">\r\n \r\n  <li><h3>Provide Concrete Examples <\/h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Children with autism often have difficulty processing abstract ideas. <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/letter-tiles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Color-coded letter tiles<\/a> provide concrete examples of reading and spelling concepts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Also, autism can make it impossible to process excessive verbal input. Demonstrating <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/sound-out-words\/\" title=\"Helping Kids Sound Out Words\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> blending<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/segmenting-spelling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">segmenting<\/a> using letter tiles allows the child to understand the process without being overwhelmed with long verbal explanations.<\/p> <\/li>\r\n \r\n<li><h3>Use Direct Instruction<\/h3><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/autism-reading-spelling-3-600x400-2.jpg\" alt=\"Teaching Reading and Spelling to Autistic Children - All About Learning Press\" width=\"400\" class=\"right\" \/>\r\n\r\n<p>With direct instruction, lessons are carefully sequenced and explicit. The student is told exactly what he needs to know. Each reading and spelling lesson should include three simple steps:<\/p> \r\n<ul>\r\n<li>A review of what was learned the day before<\/li>\r\n<li>New teaching of a single concept<\/li>\r\n<li>A short practice of the new teaching<\/li>\r\n<\/ul> <\/li>\r\n <li>\r\n<h3>Focus on Incremental Lessons<\/h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Break every skill down into its most basic steps and then teach the lessons in a logical order, carrying your child from one concept or skill to the next. Each step should build on steps your child has already mastered, ensuring that there are <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/the-no-gaps-approach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">no gaps<\/a>.<\/p>  <\/li>\r\n <li>\r\n<h3>Teach One New Concept at a Time <\/h3>\r\n\r\n<p>When teaching children their letters, start with the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/how-to-teach-phonograms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">phonograms<\/a> and teach them the ones that are easiest to learn and that they can put to immediate use, like M, S, P, and A. Teaching one concept at a time <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/the-funnel-concept\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">respects the child's funnel<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/making-it-stick\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">helps learning stick<\/a>. It also helps <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/reading-how-much-time\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">keep lessons short<\/a>.<\/p> <\/li>\r\n <li>\r\n<h3>Use Multisensory Techniques<\/h3>\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/autism-reading-spelling-2-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"All About Reading curriculum on whiteboard\" width=\"400\" \/><p>Teach every lesson using <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/multisensory\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sight, sound, and touch<\/a>. For example, using <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/using-letter-tiles\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">moveable letters<\/a> engages both the kinesthetic and visual <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/multisensory\/#Pathways\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">pathways to the brain<\/a>, and saying the sounds aloud engages the auditory pathway.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>You can also have your child form letters in salt or rice, or trace the shape of the letters on the textured surface of his choice, such as velvet or sandpaper. This is especially helpful if your child has difficulty with fine motor control and needs simple and repeated activities to help develop this skill.<\/p> <\/li>\r\n\r\n<li>\r\n<h3>Pay Attention to Reading Comprehension<\/h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Many children with autism learn how to decode words quickly and easily, but they have difficulty with comprehension. If your child is a literal thinker, it may be difficult for her to understand concepts like <span class=\"italic\">words with multiple meanings<\/span> or <span class=\"italic\">making predictions<\/span> or <span class=\"italic\">understanding character motivation<\/span>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>To help, work on developing listening comprehension using the tips in <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/listening-comprehension\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">4 Great Ways to Build Listening Comprehension<\/a>.  This post on <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/reading-comprehension\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">How to Teach Reading Comprehension<\/a> also has great information on how to help your child understand what she is reading.<\/p><\/li>\r\n\r\n<li>\r\n<h3>Place Your Student According to Ability, Not Grade Level<\/h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Set your child up for success with a <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/mastery-based\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">mastery-based approach to learning<\/a>. This approach lets you to meet your child right where he is and allows you to teach at your child\u2019s pace instead of at a rigid pace set by a curriculum. Some children with autism learn in huge leaps\u2014learning many literacy concepts almost all at once\u2014while others need time to fully digest a lesson before progressing. By using a mastery-based approach, your child can move as quickly or as slowly as he need to.<\/p><\/li>\r\n\r\n<li>\r\n<h3>Reward Your Child\u2019s Progress<\/h3>\r\n<div class=\"clearfix\">\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/autism-reading-spelling-4-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"Happy girl holding completed All About Reading progress chart\" width=\"400\" \/>\r\n\r\n<p>It is important to make the lessons <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/spelling-mastery-based\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mastery-based<\/a> and to include a visual way for your child to mark her progress, such as a chart where she can paste stars for each lesson learned.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>And don\u2019t forget to use <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/teacher-your-child-needs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">words of encouragement<\/a> every step of the way. Simple encouragement like \u201cGood job!\u201d or \u201cYou did great!\u201d or \u201cExcellent!\u201d goes a long way toward building confidence and self-esteem in children, motivating them to keep learning.<\/p><\/div> <\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"box\">\r\n<h2>Notes from Parents of Children with Autism<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>\"When our twins were diagnosed with autism, we knew that we needed to play to their strengths in looking for curriculum.
