The activities listed below may help to improve literacy skills and academic outcomes for students in F.E. They are preently being adapted for health and childcare students with dyslexia and other learning disabilities, as well as their peers.
Games and activities used with health and social care students using a multisensory approach that also allows for differentiation:
Pairs. Matching key words and Pictures. Print and cut out up to 12 words and matching pictures related to the student’s course. Place them face down for the student to match up. (visual)
Prefix/suffix game. Print and cut out key root words and the matching prefix/suffixes on separate cards.
