Can you imagine that I graduated with my master's degree and I was just Dx with dyslexia at 33? Every day was an uphill battle for me. I had to work 100x harder than everyone else. The trick that I learned was to teach myself all of the material by powerpoint. I broke down every component of what I was learning and taught the same class material to myself. It was the only way for me to do well.
Brandon Johnston almost the same here, I tend to translate what I read mainly from English to my mother tongue Arabic and break my readings down...sometimes I would sketch images on the side to remember better, but It’s truly tough to comprehend tough philosophical books, sometimes my messed up understanding leads me to making new theories. :)
My Memory is bad, but it gets incredibly good, if I use my imagination. So I'm picturing everything you're saying into my mind, so I remember quicker. You have no idea how strong my Dyslexia is. This video helped 100%.
Yes! you nailed it, when we use our dyslexic strengths everything changes, dysadvantages become advantages ;) There are 4 MIND Strengths by the way, check out the season 0 play list theres a 5 videos on those.
4:15 - 4:50, 5:28 - 6:15 , 10:51 - 11:25, 14:18, 15:19. What we can used are: 1.Ideal Memories 2.Concepts Memories 3.autobiography memory 4.episodic memory Memory storage, and Memory recall. Make a "graphical representation". We can link 'Ideals' with 'Images'.
I’m loving your videos; but what I love more is your passion to teach and to help others! I wish I had a teacher like you when I was in school. Thank you for the work that you do.
I used to think we had to retrieve what we learned at least once before we used the restroom. If we didn’t throw it back out into the world (for example, repeat, write or speak what we stored in our brains), it got peed or pooed out. Then we had to store it again. I was a strange kid.
The puzzle thing also works with art. If you're making a painting/drawing, the image will make you recall whatever you were watching or listening to while making it.
As a kid I would imagine the math equation being put into a filing cabinet in my head. I literally would do this everytime I needed to remember. Oddly enough it worked.
I really love your videos. You have helped me find better methods of learning. A little big of a success story... I've always tried to write notes as best as I could. But it was such a big distraction that I didn't even realize was effecting me in a negative way. In December I started flight school (ground school) and started learning so much. Instead of writing as much content as I could and "transcribing" the information, I did two things. 1. I drew pictures to help me memorize certain things. 2. Since my classes were very visual I watched the images very carefully and tried to connect the info to the images. This worked better than expected. I passed my knowledge test with a above average score, and I also got my private pilots license. I'm really not sure if I'd be able to pass that if I didn't do what you suggested. Thank you so much. I love learning about how my dyslexic mind works. Please continue to make content. I eat it up!
Bro! Are you serious right now? You have no idea how happy I am reading this comment. Thanks for taking the time share that story. I'm totally committed to making more videos and improving the quality over time. Congrats on flight school, So dope! Im curious to learn what do you fly? Choppers, planes, jets?
@@NishanthaU I currently fly Single Engine Prop Airplanes. Things like Cessna 172's etc. And I think I'm going to work my way up to fly jets and continue going forward with that. This has boosted my confidence a lot already, by using your tips being able to achieve this. And I'm going to try and use it to continue going forward. I believe I have the type of Dyslexia referred to as "Silent Dyslexia." If I understand it right, I can read ok. Sometimes I'll miss read words or mistake similar words for different words. And my spelling is pretty awful sometimes for many words. Unlike my way older brother who has LOTS of trouble reading as a middle aged adult. But I personally struggle with getting it into my long term memory. As far as just reading in general (though I'm trying to do more audio books) the Open Dyslexic font helps me read a lot faster and retain better. I enjoy that you use it in your videos. But this specific video has helped me soooo much.
I use to live by a small airport and hanger, lots of Cessna type aircrafts. As I get better at managing dyslexia I'm becoming more and more like what you described with the silent type. As far as memory, I found this really cool strategy called spaced repetition that basically automatically upload things into your long term memory, I'm working on developing a system around that at the moment. Im going to make that video when I figure out the best way for dyslexics to use it. Open Dyslexic is nice, You'r the first person to comment about it after I started using it. Maybe a video on that would be good.
Thank you so much for this video. Learning has never been easy for me. And its so hard with remembering being dyslexic. I start college in August im so nervous and scared I'm also excited to challenge myself as well. Thank you. ❤
omg so glad I found you, I am an early childhood special ed major, and it's a challenge especially English not being my first language having ADHD, (thank god I was diagnosed at an early age) adding dyslexia to that, and how the college system works. Your videos are not only helping me with tips on how to manage but also encourage me not to give up. I had a teacher who came up to me and suggest that I should not pursue this career that I should go for something different since I am also into art she suggests that would be better for me due to my condition.
It's interesting what you said about notes, you can take notes and not really learn anything. I taught English (ESL, I live in Mexico). At first (more than 20 years ago) I taught to children. I was at first pleased at how fast they learned, I asked questions and they responded with the right answers. I soon learned that they learned what answer went with what question but didn't know what they were saying. I had to change my method. Well, I actually changed my students, I wasn't good with children, they need to play, games and such. I ended up with adults. I have ADHD and "mild" dyslexia so I've iearned to do things in differents ways.
Yeah that’s what I’ve experience as a teacher to sometimes I just noticed kids taking notes but they’re not really learning anything or understanding with the writing they just doing it out of habit because that’s what they’ve always done in school and in classes.
Thank you for explaining implicit and explicit memory! Nice chalkboard! I think I’ll need a lot of practice to make pretty graphic representations like you. For right now, I use a lot of words, lines, arrows, and other shapes. Thank you!
find something you love to read and thank god you do not have to write cursive or read it much, but I learn hands-on repetitively never forget, I played with cars and it was my passion it required a lot of memory and was also very artistic my mom pushed color books and tried reel hard to get me to recreate them exactly to memory, I just taught myself how to 3d print, youtube slow but I can rinse and repeat, and the army was a major break threw memorization repeat training
Thanks brother! I'm working on putting a lot of effort into TH-cam in the future as the channel is growing and I'm becoming more efficient at making content. Appreciate your encouragement. Comments like yours is one the best things about making videos. thanks!
the best way to improve our reading, spelling, and writing skills is to train your brain everyday or every so often. the con... we have to do this for the rest of our life since our brain doesn't store information properly or for too long.
Looking at this diagram on the chalkboard is exactly what it looks like in my brain. It’s hard to translate all of the pictures / animations in my mind into words for people to understand . I always thought this was part of my add but I’m realizing that I might have dyslexia as well .
Hey its my first time on this channel im happy there people like u in this world because i thought i was only one with this issue question what your method on studying for a test because i have issues studying and then when i take the test i forget almost everything trust me it not because im not studying, thank you advance for any input u give me
Hey, so my brother is 8 years old and he had ADHD and Dyslexia. He’s gotten behind I’m school and has been hard for him to learn, during quarantine I’ve been trying caught him up but he just struggles, does anyone have any tips that could make learning easier?
Dude, I wish these tutors spoke as fast, and as clearly as you, when you are trying to learn something from listening and the person slurs letters and talks slowly it is very hard to learn what they are saying.
Sir, I have never struggled with reading and writing, but I am always doubting myself, in math, science, reading, capabilities, sports... This started very recently. It really sucks. Do you know any solution to this?
Hey thank you for these videos. For a long time I thought I was just slow/stupid but it seems that if I can master this then I can start tapping into the strengths I do have. I'll watch more of your videos and I happen to be in the process of doing a degree in Chemistry. With some perseverance I can understand concepts but can't for the life of me remember it, what would you suggest?
My son 10yearr old he can remember every incident happen four year back but he is lacking still in remember alphabet sound struggling to read sentences...how to memorize and make him read
The puzzle idea is interesting I will have to try that sometime I usually remember things best by ether hearing then or makeong a joke out of them I type out each term and make flash cards out of them o then have someone quiz me and I trial and error my way through remember it For everything I can’t quite remember right away I make a joke out of them like when I quizzed my friend on her chemistry test. It was on different chemical formulas and there matching terms, but there was one she just couldn’t remember calcium biecarbinate so I said HCO the third has negative 2 friends because he was given a name like HCO and she got it right away
As an adult with dyslexia its best not to address it as a problem, but more of a different way of thinking. Your child is still young and dyslexia is well known now. There should be methodical ways the school system should be able to assist your son with learning. Failing that definately get additional tuition. Find out what your son excels at and what he finds a challenge. distiguishing that should lead you closer to assiting him in his learning journey. You've got this. Wishing you both the best.
@@NishanthaU I still don't understand my disability still but but I'm still trying to understand my disability and I'm forcing myself to read. But I also learned that my disability can be a ability not a disability. Sometimes it sucks having disability but it makes me who I am and I am pushing myself to the direction to learn to read.
@@victoriajones5742 it's only a 'disability' if you see it like that. We're programmed to think that the way our brains work are wrong and we're wired up wrong. What is wrong is forcing all students into an education system that delivers one teaching style and uses tests to check you have retained useless information half of the time. Don't judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree. We all have unique and individual strengths that the majority of the time are beaten out of us at school. We're constantly thought of as slow and at a disadvantage. What if schools taught differently ... catered to the way our brains work instead. I bet the other half of students would be in uproar because they coukdnt keep up with us!!
Please don’t use the term “normal people “ when comparing to those of us with dyslexic brains. It implies in younger children and teenagers that they are not “normal.” Children and especially teenagers what to fit in and be accepted by their peers. I tell those in my family and the youths I work in my family that they don’t have a disease or condition called dyslexia. Instead they have a dyslexic brain and here are many types of brain (neuro-diversity) just as there are people who have blue eyes and people with brown eyes and right handed people and left handed people and short people and tall people. I teach them (often using your videos) that they have advantages and challenges having a dyslexic brain just as there are advantages and challenges being tall or short.
Pictures, images, sounds help with retaining information. It does take more work for people living like us. But you do have to work harder. Don't give up. A lot of people have this same struggle.

Can you imagine that I graduated with my master's degree and I was just Dx with dyslexia at 33? Every day was an uphill battle for me. I had to work 100x harder than everyone else. The trick that I learned was to teach myself all of the material by powerpoint. I broke down every component of what I was learning and taught the same class material to myself. It was the only way for me to do well.
If you are diagnosed when you are 8 years old you only have to work 99x harder. :-)
Amazing ❤️❤️
We are very brilliant when it comes to finding solutions. That was great thinking!
Brandon Johnston almost the same here, I tend to translate what I read mainly from English to my mother tongue Arabic and break my readings down...sometimes I would sketch images on the side to remember better, but It’s truly tough to comprehend tough philosophical books, sometimes my messed up understanding leads me to making new theories. :)
It was the same way for me. I felt that I worked 10000X more than other students. Animated videos worked for me. ( English is my second language)
My Memory is bad, but it gets incredibly good, if I use my imagination. So I'm picturing everything you're saying into my mind, so I remember quicker.

Awesome content Nishant. It would be great to see an example worked through to amplify your technique
life isnt about memorizing, it's about building a knowledge tree. Start with the roots
Brilliant, this is perfect analogy
15:19 For actually *how* to memorise faster and accelerate learning

So helpful thank god for you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I really like the idea of using concrete images to help the memory thanks Nishantha

Best advice is to help you love reading, can't force that, its slow progression. Start with good stories and books.
Ok sir thank you for your reply
The puzzle idea is interesting I will have to try that sometime
I usually remember things best by ether hearing then or makeong a joke out of them
I type out each term and make flash cards out of them o then have someone quiz me and I trial and error my way through remember it
