Students should use highlighters and Post-It notes to stress key points in texts. Students should be allowed to tape-record classes and test directions. Taped texts that provide for simultaneous reading and listening may be appropriate. Students should be informed about oral reading assignments and questions ahead of time, so they may practice. Length of tasks or number of items may need to be reduced.
Frequent reviews are often necessary.
Word processors may be useful. Students need abundant praise and encouragement. Coping with dyslexia is very tiring, so students may need extra rest breaks. Serve as an advocate for your child. Know your child's legal rights.
