I have recently started studying to obtain the Certificate in the Teaching of Children with Dyslexia. The course is excellent, it is really helping me understand some of my students' difficulties. In particular, I tutor a 16 year old boy ('AB') in AS Level Business Studies.
His school teachers are highly critical of him because he fails to hand homework in on time, or is unable to find it. As a consequence, the teachers believe he is not interested and disorganised. This is not the case, but he has never been shown a system or planner to help organise himself. A simple confidence building exercise, described in the course, enabled AB and I to re-organise all his Business Studies files, and colour code his class notes, handouts and homework.
In the last 3 weeks weeks, he has handed in all his homework complete, presented well and on time. This might not seem that significant but he has already started to receive positive feedback from his teachers, which AB and his parents are really excited about.
Thank you to worldofdyslexia.com for the first class assistance provided!
