Hi, I would like to ask any of the Teaching Assistants on here, if they can help with revision techniques that I can help my 14 year old dyslexic son with. He really struggles with his short-term memory and forgets what he has read or had read to him in minutes. He is at a main stream school. He has a statement and TA help in class. But with exams coming up soon, we would like to know if there is a technique for helping to retain information. We do 'spider graphs' for science revision and something similar for geography and history. We just pick out key information, but his english is the most difficult for him and he really finds it hard to read and spell. He has a reading and spelling age of 8yrs. He will get help in the exams, (except english)with a reader and and extra 15mins. But the problem is he can't remember the information needed to answer the questions. Please help. Thank you.
Julie
