[senco-forum] Acceleread/write

We are just coming to the end of a four week intervention using

We'd have given a three month break.

In the mean time:
1.	Let the pupil write on a talking wp  - to keep up those skills.  He 
could do his class writing on one, (eg short answers to 
comprehension-type exercises on factual subjects)

2.	Work on spelling  on Starspell- set it up to give list of words based 
on spelling patterns.

3.	Talking Books?

4.	Reading-  phonically based readers you may have around at an 
appropriate interest level.  Depends what stage the pupil has reached- 
I'd go for success.  If you can bear it, The Sun has a low reading age- 
or you might find something in the new Waterstone's Guide see Web: 
www.waterstones.com/wat/images/special/mag/waterstones_dyslexia_action_guide.pdf

The trick is to keep the activity within what the pupil can feel 
successful at.
