Science and dyslexia at P level 5

The additional challenges at P level 5 are concepts such as before and after and demonstration. Support the child in activities that involve trying things out and responding to questions using scientific language.

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

You can:

• Make sure all language is used clearly and in context, as at P level 4
• Support the use of new vocabulary in visual and practical contexts, recapping on key words and concepts
• Reinforce the concept of before and after through regular class routines and by referring to these words in context at other times of the day
