Summary
Note taking in lectures is one of the most problematic tasks for students with dyslexia due to processing, retention, and retrieval difficulties under time constrained conditions. As such, strategies delivered in the chapter to help with vanquishing barriers include using active learning methods, such as the Q Notes, two-column, four quarter, mind map and outline techniques, using shorthand and symbols to replace sentences, using drawing to replace words, and using coloured pens and coloured paper, using multisensory methods that utilise all the learning senses, and using technology such as a Dictaphone to record lectures supplemented by the Q Notes method to be more engaged during lectures.
