I know it is hard for my dyslexic students to keep up with taking notes. Even dictation sentences with carefully chosen words can be a real challenge. A video of a new writing simulation that helps those of us who are not dyslexic understand just a bit of the reality of the note taking struggle can be viewed by going here.  I found it quite helpful in putting myself in my students’ shoes.  I hope it helps you envision the reality of what an enormous task accurate notes can be, and why our dyslexic students often don’t know the meaning of what they have just recorded.
