Hi all. This year I will be teaching a group of 11 year olds English language. One of the curriculum items to cover is punctuation, however this has proved to be a tough one to crack with the abilities of students who are challenged by dyslexia and adhd in particular, and for obvious reasons. I am trying to find a way how not to stress the students, while on the other hand using their other abilities (kinaesthetic, visual, auditory) to learn punctuation. However, this never really translates into paper because of said learning difficulties. They get it correct in class with the aide of Support assistants and my help, however it never translates into their essays for example. If it is an exercise, that's fine as it is contained. But if it is writing, then we go back to where we started. What am I doing wrong? Can anyone link me to article/s where I can read how to best tackle such nitty gritty topics in English with such students, whom I adore. Thank you.
