As a trainee techer I recently completed a number of substitution days in a local primary school. On entering the classroom I was pre-warned as to the children who had special learning difficulties e.g. dyslexia. One learning syrategy that I found to be extremely effective eas in the form of 'keyrings'. As noted in the course dyslexic children find it particularly difficult to visualise abstract words i.e. words that make up the dolch list e.g. went, again, sit of live. The keyring idea was based on a no. of these words being laminated, and fixed onto the keyring, which was then buckled to the childs belt. That way as the child went through their dauly routine, e.g. luchtime, the teacher could ask "show me the word very". The child would then have to find that particular word, thus reinforcing the visualisation of the word. I found this to be particularly effective and the kids loved it too.
