All about Dyslexia

Are there things which you can do to help if you have dyslexia?

Yes! – here are some tips:

  • Relax and make sure you don’t get overtired particularly before exams
  • When studying take regular breaks as people with dyslexia have problems with the length of time that they can concentrate for. Work for half an hour or less before taking a five minute break.
  • Work in a quiet room without music, TV or other people distracting you.
  • Keep the place where you are working neat and well organised.
  • Try filing all your notes from work immediately you have made them, and keep a diary of all your school and social activities and homework deadlines.
  • Try and use a computer to write with if you can – because the word processing programmes like spell check will help you.
