Help dyslexic child get ideas down on paper in 10 minutes

Help a dyslexic child get their ideas down on paper with a Thought Tree. A Thought Tree is a type of mind map. It helps dyslexic children express their thoughts quickly by using keywords and pictures. It’s perfect for planning larger pieces of work, like:

• Projects.
• Essays.
• Stories.

Why do dyslexic kids struggle to write?

Dyslexic children often think better in pictures. When they see a list of questions or a big block of text, they may struggle to absorb everything. It can be hard for them to put this information into their own words.

Mind Mapping helps dyslexic children take notes and organise their ideas. They can:

• Write down ideas in any order.
• Use colours.
• Add pictures to express their thoughts.
