they really struggle with reading and writing in English?
It is getting frustrating. :(
12yo DSD, dyslexic (well, tendencies anyway, can't afford private test) and not getting help since starting yr8. She is getting better at English I must say, she can read a lot more now but spelling and memory are really still difficult for her. She's good at science and maths type subjects though.
She just can't remember any of it.
We did a matching game for her vocab list, and I was thinking next time I might cut up sentences for her to rearrange, but I'm at a loss for what else to do.
She lives with her mum and is only here every other weekend (alternates with siblings) so we can't do as much as we'd like although we do some help online.
I am thinking of getting their textbook because they only have them at school and aren't allowed to bring them home ever. Even for exam revision. They are told to revise from their exercise books but there is barely anything in them, and that seems to have never been marked so there were loads of mistakes.
