I have a student with dyslexia and other health concerns. He is a bright pleasant child who usually does quite well in class. He suddenly does not complete assignments even though they are very infrequent - 7 or 8 sentences with the correct word in a content subject. A similiat assignment occurs about every 2-3 weeks. Is it unresonable to expect this from an 11 year old student who can read the material with occasional assistance with a few words? I allow extra days to complete the work, I just think it is important for him to do some writing. His handwriting is quite good and spelling is not an issue.
