DD uses a lot of online visual resources - being dyslexic this is much better for her than a textbook, where the energy needed to decode the text sometimes doesn't leave enough energy to actually get anything out of it!
The best resource we have found for science is my-gcse.com. The videos (which are powerpoints with a teacher's voice and added notes) are accompanied by printable sheets with the skeleton powerpoints on which the student can add to as they watch, and exam style questions and answers. But you have to pay for it and it may not seem worth it now - we have had it since last June and it has proved very useful. You can find some of the videos on youtube, but not the sheets to match. She also likes Doodlescience for Physics.
DD also did very well in English Literature having watch Mr Bruff videos on her books. Mr Salles also has some English stuff.
Mathsgenie is useful for maths - topics organised by grade with questions and mark schemes
Seneca is a fairly new resource - with some video or written resources, interspersed with questions to check understanding - it is supposed to adapt to your learning. Not all subjects are there, but there are sciences, including ones for the practicals and for equations in physics and chemistry, and also some English Literature ones which DD finds useful. It is still in beta phase and not always that easy to find your way around, but worth a hunt. Also has history and is promising others too
With all of them DD does stop and start them and take notes, so it's a bit more active than just staring at a screen
I am already looking for A level visual resources for DD - in chemistry and biology mainly, but also possible music
Really helpful ... thanks
