Some tips that I thought might be of use to others while helping a child in a classroom setting.
I would take down any writing that the teacher would put on the board and transfer it to a mini whiteboard that would sit in front of the pupil on the desk. This can also be done with a notepad. I find that this helps the child keep their place in the text and this way you can also shorten the text so that the children don�t have to write so much. Another method that I have only used once but worked really well for the particular pupil was when I was writing the work down from the board I would change each line colour that I wrote, the comment from the pupil was �That is so easy to follow as I know I�m on the red line.�
