Advice please on how to help my daughter revise....she is mildly dyslexic and does OK with course work but when it comes to exam time revision it is hell for both of us! She has had 1 to 1 tuition help, we have tried coloured cards, mixing times tables with games etc but very little seems to help her retain information, she says these techniques do not work for her and exams results are generally lower than expected. Linked to this I believe is her sense of checking her work when she believes it is fine and actually it makes very little sense. Planning essays and structures terrifies her! Really tricky part, which I see on other posts, is how much is getting the right approach and not too much pressure versus just pushing a child?? Any experiences and advice most welcome!
