SOUNDBITE (English) Dorothy Kioko, teacher at Rare Gem Talent School "In teaching reading we usually use structured literacy, which is a systematic way of teaching. You teach step by step until the learner gets (understands) what you are teaching. Not a lecture method where the teacher stands in front and starts explaining. Here we usually do individualized learning.” 5. Various of students being taught in a classroom 6. SOUNDBITE (English) Dorothy Kioko, teacher at Rare Gem Talent School “Most parents do not understand that their learners need a lot of support. So they may come with a lot of expectations from the learner, which may put pressure on the learner. So that is the first challenge. The other challenge is that you find that some learners with dyslexia, they can reach a point where breaking through in reading is so difficult so as a teacher you have to find many, many other methods to support the learning." 7.

SOUNDBITE (English) Phyllis Munyi, founder, Rare Gem Talent School "If they are identified early and intervention is given early, they improve their skills, they actually learn to identify their talents, and they find they complete school. However, if it is not identified early, you find they are the ones who suffer a lot by being called names, by being compared with others, and so it brings their self-esteem very low, and sometimes even they drop out of school." 11.

SOUNDBITE (English) Phyllis Munyi, founder, Rare Gem Talent School " That focus on academic performance, not recognizing that children with dyslexia have other abilities that can be focused, and this child will achieve success like any other child, even if they may have challenges with academic performance." 13.

SOUNDBITE (English) Geoffrey Karani, art teacher, former student at Rare Gem Talent School "In other normal schools there is a lot of discrimination, there is a lot of bullying, a lot of bullying because you can imagine yourself seated in a class whereby there are 50 students, and you are the only slow learner there who is not performing, who is not reading, who is not writing, so there is a lot of things going on at the same time, and coming to this school, all of that changed." 16.

SOUNDBITE (English) Jason Malak Atati, student at Rare Gem Talent School "In the school that I was, teachers didn't understand me, they usually caned me because when they gave me assignments I wouldn't do it, because I can't say that it was laziness, I didn't understand anything about what they were teaching, because they were teaching fast, so since I came to this school, teachers teach me slowly until I understand." 19.
