Reports and how to use them in the classroom
Objectives
•Brief overview of free writing•Try a test •Understand some parts of a report•Know some techniques to use
Free writing
• What are we looking for when we mark the free writing?*
• Mark for vocabulary • Punctuation and grammar• Spelling• Hand-writing
• How can this help you?
Assessment and tests
• What goes on in an assessment?• Questions• Tests
• Assessments that we generally do here are for access arrangements ONLY (eg extra time) – do not diagnose dyslexia
Digit span test
• Have a go in pairs• Marking it –• Percentile – if you test 100 people, same age same test, where you would be –
• Standard score – a scale that we can use to compare performances - 84 or below concern
• 84=15th percentile
Reports
•What types of reports are there?
•Access arrangements reports•More detailed reports
Look at report*• What can it tell you?
• Some comments about the student at the start of the report – support application for access arrangements and tell you weaknesses
• X indicates a difficulty – scores can help
• What difficulties does this student have and what difficulties does he not have?
List difficulties picked up in a report -
techniques to use to address them*
Senses
• Try to use two or more senses – eg sound as well as look
• Try making something rather than writing it down – make a tree with leaves on it, each leaf with a piece of information on something soft, rough, lined etc, put on board – touch each leaf
• Smells are good – be creative
3 types of difficulties• Visual• Auditory• Motor
• Not going to know from basic report
• But if you have long report, take note of type of difficulty – so if visual strengths and auditory difficulty don’t choose sounding out spelling strategy
Most things you do for students with dyslexia will probably help everyone else!
