As producing written work and writing essays is such a commonly requested academic task of university programmes, this chapter focuses on delivering strategies students with dyslexia say they find useful for essay planning and techniques they find effective for writing. As such, essay planning techniques include utilising university resources, starting written assignments early in the term, making plans and writing guides by using mind maps to visually see the links between ideas, breaking the main essay question down into a series of smaller questions to provide hooks for gathering the right type of information, and using mind-mapping software and technology. Effective techniques that students with dyslexia say they use to support writing tasks covered in the chapter, involve setting small goals by breaking up the required word length of the essay, using subheadings to help with essay structure, applying the point, example / evidence, comment /criticism (PEC) method of writing to ensure that paragraphs are well composed, designating proof-readers to check through written work, and using assignment cover sheets on coursework submission to ensure examiners are aware that the student is dyslexic.
