Most dyslexic children find the task of copying homework from a board difficult. They may not be able to copy everything or may not correctly write down what they see. Teachers should there fore provide a sense of caring for the dyslexic child when setting homework.
With my student in my class who has dyslexia;when instructions were given to copy the homework from he board, most often it was incomplete or some of it omitted. Consequently the HW was not often done.I became concerned about him, so I began photocopying the HW and giving it to him.This encouraged him to have it done . There was a new eagerness to collect his HW and to complete it.
In Math homework I gave him fewer items to solve. Sometimes I would have him collect and take to school pictures that are related to Science or Social Studies topics; instead of having him write sentences. For Creative Writing HW,he is sometimes asked to arrange pictures to tell a story, then write one sentence about one of the pictures.
These methods helped immensely and encouraged enthusiasm and confidence for doing HW for this particular student. Although he was given less homework , my student is still learning the same concept and content as the other students in his class.
