[senco-forum] dyslexia assessments and teaching

 I like Mastering Memory (about £150 I think) from CALSC. They have a
website. The program is designed for young children up to adults so there is
something for everyone. The older boys enjoy the highway code symbols. You
can set it up to give pictures only, pictures + sound, or sound only so you
can develop auditory or visual memory (or a mixture). It is one of the
teaching tools I wouldn't be without!

So we  have to work on improving their
ability to pay attention, develop their  memory, especially working memory

Have you any good materials you use to develop these skills,   particularly 
with brightish dyslexic pupils. ( secondary), who can read and  write,
probably 
not spell, fairly well?  I do the obvious things and  suggest strategies,
but 
particularly for boys, with poor organisation, I could  do with some new 
inspiration.

Best wishes,
