Give your child frequent breaks when working.
When a child strikes confusion or becomes overloaded, their brain will no longer be taking in accurate information. This is when mistakes happen and frustration sets in. Pushing through does NOT help. Allow them to take a break, and then they will be able to return re-focused.
You could have a simple signal that either you or your child can make to show it is time for a break.
Breaks are a simple, yet powerful tool for the dyslexic learner.
