I am English and I live in France and have been asked by the local school to help the dyslexic students, aged 11-13, who are learning English. English is a compulsory subject for them and they will be complete beginners. Both of my own children are dyslexic and I am very aware that I am not trained. However, if I do not help the children, there is no-one who will. I thought it might be best to start with learning the phonetics of the alphabet, and then I realised I do not know the 'rules' of the sounds - e.g. the sound of 'e' as in 'elephant' and then how it is sometimes silent, as in 'game' or stronger as in 'me'. Agh!
I am due to start working with the children next week so if there is anyone out there who can offer some good concrete suggestions of the best way to start working with them and how I can learn too, I would greatly appreciate your help.
