When teaching my dyslexic pupils I have found that it can take them longer to formalise and communicate their ideas. They quickly lose confidence when they haven't had time to answer. Mini whiteboards and pens are one way this problem can be overcome, pupils can jot down their ideas for teachers to see and answers can be quickly removed so that other pupils do not spot spelling mistakes etc. Matthew, a dyslexic aged 11, says that he loves the whiteboards as he can get rid of his wrong answers quickly, the permanence of writing in an exercise book prevents him from using ambitious vocabulary as he doesn�t want to spoil his work with crossings out.
Has anyone else got any handy hints out there for enabling children to get their ideas across in a way that allows them to build confidence?
