Being a "Dyslexic" myself, having the time to read each Question 2 to 3 times is a big deal. We just need to understand that the student Can be the best student in Class, Always knows the answer in Class, but Fail the test because the student didn't understand the question, given the chance to reread the question 2 or 3 times helps with this problem.  

We can not forget that there are lots of examples of people with learning disabilities; Einstein is perhaps the most famous of them. It is true that the school system of the time greatly underestimated him, and he excelled more at math AFTER he came up with the basics of Relativity, because he realized he needed to master mathematics to work out all the implications. 

Comment on Erin Coopey's post:  yes please, we have learned how to diagnose the problems, I would like more information on what we can do to help these students, besides labeling the students. 

Comment on Patrick Church's post:  well said

We are going to make some mistakes, We are human. The thing of it is to learn from those mistakes. 

I really like the group concept, and will be trying this next class. 

My Syllabus has always just been a one page for each semester, more of a outline. I will be working on spelling out more of what will be expected of the students.   

I think the biggest thing so for is more of "Group Competition" I plan to use this strategy to increase participation and learning.
