At St Luke?s school in Swindon, a school for children with moderate learning difficulties they are finding ways to help pupils order thought, one key problem for dyslexics , called ?sequencing?. Dr John Stein of the Dyslexia research Trust explains why sequencing letters, symbols and even their day can be such a problem for dyslexics and puts the idea that a multi-sensory approach can help pupils to learn how to sequence. In a lesson about Guy Fawkes, Senco Jo Hale uses various techniques to reinforce sequencing. She brings in sound and pictures to re-emphasise the story and have the children make strong associations which they can use later to remember. She demonstrates the use of a soundscape, the way she tells the story, having the pupils place pictures in order. She finally goes over the story again by having the pupils themselves record the story-all ways of overlearning the facts.
