Dyslexing tonight was great, as always. Our tutor has always maintained that we should try out each diagnostic test ourselves before giving them to a pupil, so that we understand what it's like to be assessed. Spelling and reading tests have not been a problem, but tonight's focus was maths and the problems that dyslexics face with numbers. The maths test she gave us was ROCK SOLID. Granted, it started easily enough (4 + 1 = ?) but within 6 questions was onto long multiplication and by the end of the first page had covered percentages and factorisation. I've been reminded why I'm not a maths teacher! My brain now hurts.
