I have been working as a SEN Support Teacher for 3 years. Over this period of time I've had chance to work with children with Dyslexia but I have always been taken aback knowing most children could show some & all of dyslexia symptoms at different levels. For example, there is this particular boy in year 9 who has a very poor attendance, poor handwriting/spellings, difficulties with maths & fidgety. He write in reverse letters for example b & d / p & q as well as has no self esteem & confidence. He attend the social skills group to help him promote this but no improvement.
Also,there is another girl in year 10 who could not even write at all but very bright verbally. She will express her understanding in any taught lesson but finds it so difficult to not write any word correctly. Her reading is okay but it's so sad because there has not been any improvement since year 7 even though she gets the required support with the Speech & Language Therapist & other professional agencies.
In this case what could be done to help her achieve the NC target & reach her potentials? putting in mind she has a year plus left to write her GCSE.
