How should I teach?
Posted: Fri Apr 04, 2014 12:35 pm
Hi,
I am currently in training to become a Dyslexia/ Dyspraxia Tutor and as part of my course, I have to teach a student with both of these conditions. My problem is that I am struggling to find things and ways to teach! I've been taught to use a multisensory approach but as my student can be sensitive to touch and has difficulty writing, it means there are some things she can't do.
Her main issues are with:
- Structuring writing
- Some spellings like 'ie' and 'ei'
- Memory
- Processing
As I'll be having an observed session with my teacher soon, I want to make sure that what I'm teaching is useful for her.
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
