Working with the student’s learning style, a wide variety of methods and resources are used to develop learning and study skills, underpin letter\/sound & spelling pattern knowledge and build confidence.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Analysing<\/a>“I’ve got lots of ideas, I know what I want to say but I can’t get them down on paper.”<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

We can use mind-mapping,<\/strong> IT programmes such as Inspiration or Kidspiration<\/a>, as part of a structured process to gain efficient ways to: collect notes, retrieve information from text, analyse data, plan and write\u00a0concisely argued essays,\u00a0 plot and evaluate timely presentations, prepare for exams, complete dissertations.

\"Word<\/a><\/p>\n

“I can read everything he writes,<\/span> but none of it is spelt correctly.”<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Word card games<\/strong>, sound tracking with colour cubes and language programmes including Wordshark, Catchup or Nessy are used to build regular spelling pattern knowledge.\u00a0\u00a0 Maths strategies including Numbershark give a good foundation for gaining multiplication and basic maths abilities. Here is a link to Racing Demon<\/a> – a family word game to make and play at home.\u00a0<\/span>Useful Links: \u00a0BDA, British Dyslexia Association<\/a>; Patoss<\/a>, IDA, International Dyslexia Association,<\/a> \u00a0 Forum: DysTalk<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\"reading<\/a>“The letters keep jumping about and I lose my place” \u00a0“Reading gives me headaches.”<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Assessment can be made for the colour overlay which best gives clarity when reading as an initial, practical solution to help letters \u2018stay in place\u2019. Other practical solutions\u00a0are\u00a0also followed.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/i>Useful Link:\u00a0Minnesota Vision Therapy.<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"dvd<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\u201cMy hand aches when I write.” \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/strong>“His writing is all over the place.” \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>“He is always bumping into things.”<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Neuro-Developmental Delay exercises, from INPP, Chester,\u00a0 or Move to Learn, are used to help the child gain muscular control and thus better co-ordination of their body, as well as enabling steadier visual tracking.<\/span>\u00a0The progress of these exercises is recorded in the children’s “Draw a Man” test, examples are shown here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

To give you some idea of the expressive exercises used, here is a link to footage of a student demonstrating these. These are designed to be enjoyable whilst helping gain a sense of balance, rhythm and help to improve eye-hand co-ordination in such skills as hand-writing.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Listening Programme can also be followed to generate sequencing and co-ordination, so improving balance, slowing and structuring processing skills, enabling calming and focus. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Syllable<\/a>\u201cHe finds it difficult to get his ideas in the right order.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The teacher says he loses focus and wanders off task.”<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Jane Mitchell’s memory strategies<\/strong> encourage students to analyse and sequence ideas so that strong memory pathways are built.\u00a0 As there is a place (in the brain) for everything and everything (in the brain) is in its place, these simple exercises enable us to retrieve words and ideas more efficiently.\u00a0 This process helps build a wider, active vocabulary.
