The pen is mightier than the sword

writing, pen, note book

If you have less than ideal handwriting then this hack may be for you.

I discovered partway through my university course that using a Biro while making notes meant they were illegible even to me when I looked to them later after lecture. Buying a pen that suits your writing style, hand size and grip preferences can make a big difference to how legible your handwriting becomes and a nice consistent factor to enable you to hone your handwriting skills. My personal preference is a Parker Jotter with the added bonus that they clip nicely into the rings on a note pad.

Episode 41 – Armelle McGeachie Founder of Girls with Dyslexia

In this episode of The Dyslexia Life Hacks Show, Matt is talking to Armelle McGeachie, founder of Girls with Dyslexia.
During this podcast you will find out that Armelle had a feeling that she was dyslexic from a very young age, but did get a diagnosis until age 21. Interestingly, she had already been employing lots of dyslexic, friendly tactics that she had found through self-discovery during her time at school, particularly during her GCSEs. But having the official diagnosis allowed her to get the appropriate coaching, making her final year of university a lot easier.
