Tips from other dyslexic people:

Take the time you need with reading and taking test
Repeat some things you have read before
Use memory aids
Read a lot, it will definitely help you
Don't be scared to ask people to check your work when teachers allow it
Read the text first for yourself and then read it out loud.
When possible type things up
Relax otherwise it won't work
For planning make lists of what you need to do
Make flashcards
Highlight and underline things in text
For studying you can make notes from the text and recopy them into a new text
Make word webs for studying information, to get your thought in order or to organize a text you are going to write

Spelling technique:

I used a special technique in which I wrote difficult words in a notebook which had a letter of the alphabet on each page. If there was a word I found difficult to spell, I would write it down in the notebook under the letter as a way to remember how to spell it. For example, if there was a sound like “ble” in a word and I spelled it wrong like “bol” then I wrote it down. In this way words with similar sounds would come under the same letter and help me remember how it should be spelled.
