Study Skills
Study skills are peppered throughout all of my sessions. However, I can offer specific dedicated sessions, with a focus on developing core skills for exam preparation.
Memory, Organisation & Sequencing
SpLD learners often require a huge amount of over-learning to support their memory. Therefore, I find imaginative ways to go over topics several times in different ways.
Revision & assisting memory
- Memory games - I can provide memory training to help overcome working memory deficit
- Techniques to remember key subject specific vocabulary
- Visual reminders with colour coding, symbols and visual note taking.
- How to use highlighters as an effective tool to highlight key information when scanning & skimming through a text a second time, locating key points and specific information, and focusing on key command words in the question.
- Short & visual checklists to refer to for independence.
Assistive Technology
I can advise learners on how to utilise cutting-edge assistive technologies to enhance accessibility.
This encompasses configuring accessibility settings on OneNote, such as
- reduced glare
- tinted backgrounds
- double spacing
- spell check
- speech recognition
- text-to-speech
- screen readers
- operating voice-activated software for dictation purposes.
Additionally, I provide guidance on utilising ChatGPT for:
- simplifying or summarising information in a specified style
- proofreading content
- organising information into tables.
I can also advice on how to utilise an exam c-pen.
