At Lancaster, we aim to teach students with Dyslexia/specific learning
difficulties to proof read their own work as part of the process of
writing academically and becoming an independent learner.
Is this the approach taken elsewhere?

Subject: Proof -reading for Science Students
Can any of you please advise me,off Forum if you prefer. I am a
qualified Science teacher and over the years have been assisting with
proof reading and relative study skills for HE students. My
qualifications are B Sc Biochemistry & Bacteriology, M Sc Nutrition and
a certificate for HE teaching from a one-week course at Strawberry Hill
College, London. I have a DES number. Would these qualifications be
acceptable for submitting to LEAs for payment through the DSA or do I
need an SpLD qualification to justify this? How much money is given to a
student for proof reading? Finally, do any of you have details of
Proof-Reading courses for supporting HE students? Many Thanks Juliet
