Drama in Education for Students with Dyslexia
Many claims have been made in the current literature about the interplay between self-esteem and dyslexia. All this can be accentuated by failing to meet significant others' high expectations related to academic achievement, rendering feelings of inferiority, anxiety, frustration or poor social skills not rare for a student with dyslexia to experience. The challenges that students with learning differences usually face on academic level may have a significant impact on their self-image, which most times appears to be vulnerable, as well as their social interaction with peers.
This book wishes to explore the ways in which Drama in Education can be beneficial for students with dyslexia in terms of improving their self-esteem, emotional literacy, social and language skills. Therefore, the need for implementing a learning approach which will address the student as a whole person, taking into consideration not only his/her learning needs but also his/her emotional and social ones is more than necessary for success both into the educational context and in later life.
