Description
Summary:At St Luke's school in Swindon, a school for children with moderate learning difficulties, they are finding ways to help pupils order thought, one key problem for dyslexics, called "sequencing." Dr John Stein of the Dyslexia Research Trust explains why sequencing letters, symbols and even their day can be such a problem for dyslexics and puts the idea that a multi-sensory approach can help pupils to learn how to sequence. In a lesson about Guy Fawkes, Senco Jo Hale uses various techniques to reinforce sequencing. She brings in sound and pictures to re-emphasise the story and have the children make strong associations which they can use later to remember. She demonstrates the use of a soundscape, the way she tells the story, having the pupils place pictures in order. She finally goes over the story again by having the pupils themselves record the story -- all ways of overlearning the facts.
