Whatever the nature of the DYS disorder (dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, dysorthographia…), your child struggles with organisational difficulties<\/a> and can quickly come to see homework as a nightmare. Fortunately, here are a few parental coaching tips<\/strong> to help you adopt the right approach and agree on an organisation system together. Indeed, building a habit and routines allows the child to carry out these tasks with less energy…<\/p>\n

Tip #1: Make a colour-coded timetable<\/h2>\n

Assign a colour to each school subject<\/strong> and apply it across the relevant materials<\/strong> (binder, notebook, plastic sleeves, etc.). Ideally, invest in a set of drawers<\/strong> to keep this colour code consistent when storing materials and course notes. Otherwise, coloured trays work well too…<\/p>\n

For children with dyslexia or dysorthographia, don’t hesitate to create a timetable with coloured pictograms<\/strong> to identify each subject more quickly. For children with dyspraxia<\/a>, consider sticking a strip of velcro<\/strong> onto their desk to attach their pencil case and stop it falling.<\/p>\n

Bonus tip:<\/u> You can also colour in their paper timetable<\/strong>, so they can quickly identify the next day’s lessons.<\/p>\n

Tip #2: Prepare task lists<\/h2>\n

To help your child pack their school bag, prepare a checklist of the materials to bring<\/strong> for each subject (with a picture, if needed). For example, for maths, bring the red notebook, the red textbook, the set square, the compass, the calculator, etc.<\/p>\n

In the same spirit, you can prepare a list of steps to follow for a type of exercise<\/strong>. For example, for studying a text in French, read the title, read the questions asked at the end of the text, read the text, note down unfamiliar words, look up their meaning, picture the story being told, re-read the questions, etc.<\/p>\n

Bonus tip:<\/u> Laminated, these lists can be used again and again<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Tip #3: Structure homework time<\/h2>\n

Allocate a set amount of time to each task<\/strong> to help your child with a DYS disorder concentrate better. As with any other child, it’s recommended to limit work sessions to 20 minutes<\/strong>, followed by a 5-minute break<\/strong>. And if you need to organise 4 sessions in a row, plan for a longer break afterwards…<\/p>\n

Bonus tip:<\/u> Just like the Pomodoro method, which inspired this time-management technique, use a kitchen timer<\/strong>!<\/p>\n
