Taking notes from a speaker involves difficulties in listening and writing at the same time, not to mention the problems of spelling and fine motor skills. Needless to say, a copy of notes is helpful, and in most cases necessary if the playing field of the classroom is to be level, allowing the student to have the same opportunities as other gifted students.
Teachers often provide copies of their outlines or notes to students.
Another student in the same class may provide a xerox or carboned copy of notes. Photocopied text material that can be highlighted is a great support.
