	Do you have any advice on strategies that I could use to help teach poetry to pupils with Asperger's? I am a secondary trainee and am keen to ensure that I differentiate effectively. My main difficulty is how to include these students owing to the strong focus of empathy required to understand the effects of language.

	How can I help a student who has just arrived in my class to learn about spreadsheets? She speak Vietnamese and no English, so general and specific advice for the subject would really help. I am on the RTP course teaching ICT in a secondary school.

	In my Year 10 geography class, there is a girl with severe oral and verbal dyspraxia. When I initiate any group work, her peers never include her opinions (although immature, she is intelligent and often has better ideas than them!). Any ideas how I can make group work more effective? I'm sure she will benefit from this hugely if only she was taken seriously by her classmates.

	I work in an EAL school supporting a child who has been in the school for more than a year but knows very little English. He is in Year 11 and I use Read Write Inc but he is unable to remember letter sounds although I model them daily and also photocopy them for his older sister to practise with him. He has been saying the picture rather than the sound of the letter. Have you any ideas what to try next?
