[quote=Anonymous]The thing that helped my DC feel like he was keeping up with his peers was listening to audio books at his cognitive level. We also made sure he had audio books. He also has severe dysgraphia and getting the reader and scribe for all assessments and doing it at home with him for his homework helped immensely. The audio books help increase vocabulary, increase background knowledge, help with learning increasingly complex characters and plots. We mined the Newberry Award and Honors books in addition to Rick Riordan (Percy Jackson and all the half bloods have dyslexia) and for my DC -books with sports. Sometimes, I put it on in the car when we were driving along to get him hooked on another book.[/quote]
