The use of a sophisticated word processor like WORD 6 can make the chore of revising written work less energy and time consuming for any student, but particularly for the dyslexic.
One feature of a word processor that is particularly helpful for dyslexics is that any text can be typed in (or better yet scanned in with a scanner) and with the push of a button or two the size of the font can be increased for easier reading.One feature of a word processor that is particularly helpful for dyslexics is that any text can be typed in (or better yet scanned in with a scanner) and with the push of a button or two the size of the font can be increased for easier reading.
It’s easy to change the color to make it easier on the eye or to emphasize points that are important.

If your student has handed in a piece of writing and you wish to bring his attention to corrections that should be made, you don’t have to mess up his work with red ink. WORD 6 has a feature called annotations, which allows you to write your comment below his work, or even better yet, you can merely signal where the correction has to be made and he can get a voice message in Hebrew or English, telling him what has to be done. If you really want to get him to read your comments while he hears them, you can include a written annotation together with a voice message.
