Science and dyslexia at P level 4

Begin by reading the information on the challenges faced by children with dyslexia across the curriculum and at all levels, plus the suggestions for inclusion

Science at the P levels and beyond is a practical subject which the dyslexic pupil can access, with support to organise their work and follow instructions

 You can:

• Make sure new vocabulary is clearly presented and in context, using visual props where possible
• Demonstrate any activities and the skills needed first (such as putting flour in a bowl and adding water)
• Show the sequence of what to do either on the white board or as a hand-out with support

 The advice for children with autistic spectrum disorder in science at P level 4 also applies here, regarding useful rhymes and construction games
