Strategies for College Kids with Dyslexia

 Here are some of the strategies my college kids (with dyslexia) are using to make it through their classes:

1. They sit at the front of the class.
2. Oldest uses a text-to-speech app that reads her textbooks out loud to her. 
3. Bullet journals for note taking seem to be a big hit with two of them.  They seem to like the visual lay-out of bullet journals.
4. Use large print books when possible.
5. To keep up with the reading pace, they use Audiobooks when they need them.
6. They use the Writing Lab or a second person to read over their essays, etc before submitting them. 
7. One of mine has a multi-colored fountain pen set to go with her bullet journals.  Colorful text in their notes = Good
8. One of mine uses an online planner that updates him automatically when an event is coming up (because he loses track of time).
9. My daughter says it helps if she studies in the exact same room where she takes her quizzes and tests (if she is taking an online class).
10. They make a point of going to their professors' office hours if they need additional help.  They don't wait until right before the exam to get help.
11. All three of them use noise-cancelling headphones when they are reading/studying.
