Dyslexia Simple Sentences

Teacher Guide
Why do pupils who are dyslexic find writing sentences difficult?

There are many reasons why writing can be difficult for pupils, such as:
• difficulties with reading which impacts on pupils’ writing because they spend so much time reading
the words that they do not see writing conventions like capital letters, finger spaces and full stops;
• difficulties with working memory which impacts on pupils’ writing beacuse they struggle to use the
many skills involved in writing all at the same time;
• dysgraphia which impacts on pupils’ writing because they struggle to develop the motor skills they
need to write ― forming letters is so difficult that they cannot focus on all the other skills involved in
writing, at the same time.

completed correctly and pupils
have the information they need.

How It Works
• The intervention should be used with 4-8 pupils.
• The intervention should last for six weeks, during which the components of sentence writing will be
broken down into small, simple steps.
• The lesson pack includes a lesson plan and the resources needed to complete each session. Please
read the lesson plan prior to the lesson and print off enough resources for each pupil.

Assessment
An assessment task should be conducted at the beginning and at the end of the six-week intervention.
Each pupil will receive one point for every skill they use correctly when they write their assessment
sentences. The difference in the scores between the initial assessment and the final assessment
will allow you to measure the impact of the intervention.
Additional Support
To provide further support:
• the resources could be printed onto coloured paper;
• each child could have their own Sentence Checklist in front of them as they work.
