More Helpful Tips

Hi everyone, I found some more tips and strategies I believe will help you from other kids with dyslexia.  Here are some of the things they do to get the most out of school.  After you have written a paper, read it aloud and record it.  Reading it aloud and hearing it over again can help you to pin point any errors or changes you want to make.  It can also help you to get a better understanding of what you have written or read as well as remember what you have learned.  When assignments are due on books, try reading along with a CD or tape of the book.  This really will help improve your understanding and boost your confidence!  You also can sign up for recorded books and other literature online.  There is an organization called Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic which has large amounts of audio recordings of books, references, textbooks, magazines, newspapers and more.  You can find out more about this by checking out their website at http://www.rfbd.org/.  Some students suggest doing written work at home and taking notes in class on a computer or word processing keyboard such as alphasmart.  Many also suggest using a computer software which can read to you.  I hope you find these tips helpful, for more information and where I got these tips, visit http://dyslexia.yale.edu/DYS_Student2Student.html.
