Teaching and learning

Dyslexia-friendly approaches:• Avoid dictation and board copying• Do not expect lots of writing• Consider recording sections of the lesson • Use mind maps or bulleted lists• Use graphic organisers



• Ask the students to tell you what they have to do

• Only 3 or 4 spelling should be correct

• Tell the students the criteria for marking Content or spelling or handwriting



Improve text-based resources:

• Give hand-outs in advance, on tinted paper • 50% of people with dyslexic people experience

sensitivity



• Good quality resources, (check photocopies)

• 12/14 point font e.g. Arial, (avoid fancy fonts) or 1.5 spacing


Teaching and learning: Remember

• Value those times when something is hard for you

• Dyslexia (etc) = not a homogenous experience

• Notice what works for your learners



• Contextualise: place in a wide curriculum

• Structure: framework/ signals of breaks/ headings

• Pace:

• Give guidance on how students can re-enforce and practise material presented


Writing: true for you

• My students find writing difficult

• I usually set writing for homework

• Writing takes a long time in class

• My students are not very good at writing


Fluency: write 10 things in 20 seconds

• About inclusion

• You can do during the lesson to promote inclusion

• Pair work / speaking: famous dyslexics

• Write the names of famous dyslexics


Talking about writing

• What do I like to write with?

• What do I like to write on?

• Do I write long hand or straight onto the computer?

• Do I write rough and fast or neat and slow?


Talking about writing

• Is my writing small, large, tight, l o o s e….

• Is it a pleasure or a pain?

• Do I plan then write?

• Do I just write and sort it out later?

• Which writers do I like?SOS UAE Noreen Caplen-Spence
