Subject: Homework Author: J.D.T. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 06:53:04 12/27/12 Thu Home Guidelines I have had successful results following these guidelines for homework assignments. „X Check that the assignment is written down correctly. „X Ensure that the student knows exactly what is required in the assignment. „X A shorter assignment is more appropriate. Keep in mind that the dyslexic child works hard all day just to keep up with the class. Reduce assignments so that it does not overwhelm or take hours to complete each night. „X Form a homework network. Encourage each student to write in their home work assignment book, the names and numbers of at least two others students who they can call to ask questions about assignments. „X To allow for ample time to copy the assignment, homework should not only be written early in the day but a specific portion of the board should be established for homework. It should be free of other writing and left there throughout the day. „X Pair the dyslexic students with another student who can check and ensure that assignments are written correctly. „X A photocopied assignment sheet rather than writing the assignment would be more helpful to the dyslexic child. „X Use large print text, preferably on coloured paper. „X Use the Arial font. This type-face is simpler and easier for the dyslexic student to read. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
