How Tailo Helps Rhys Tackle Dense Academic Reading
Rhys, a PGCE student with Autism, ADHD, and Dyspraxia, found reading dense journal articles for his course challenging. The layout itself made academic reading feel inaccessible and overwhelming.
“I couldn’t quite make sense of the layout of the text,” Rhys shared. “The documents were really hard to read.”
That’s why when Rhys applied for the Disabled Students’
Allowance (DSA), his assessor recommended Tailo. Rhys uses the Tailored Summary
feature to quickly review key points from academic papers and decide whether
full articles are worth a deeper read. This has transformed how they approach
reading lists, allowing them to work more efficiently and feel less
overwhelmed.
“Since using Tailo, my reading has sped up. I can condense
journals into key notes to see if I actually need to read the full articles.”
Not only has Tailo helped Rhys with his own studies, but he is now using it as a teaching resource for their students on their placement. By breaking down complex academic texts into more accessible language, Rhys is building the critical reading and soft skills his students will need on their path to university.
“Tailo is an efficient way to break down a course’s recommended reading list.”
Tailo has helped reduce stress, improve confidence, and make learning more inclusive.
