GCSE subjects for dyslexic pupils

My dyslexia DS has chosen to do PE, Spanish, DT and business studies . We went for combined science. Our school told us that Spanish is easier than French for dyslexic children , but I can’t remember why!

DD is Y11 and very dyslexic.

We dropped languages and she had to pick one from history or geography.

She wasn't a big fan of either - I wanted her to do Classical Civ instead but it didn't fit in the option blocks. In the end she has gone with geography as fewer essays and reading and more possibility to pick up marks on the short answer questions. She says she wishes she'd done history, but that may just be because she's not that enamoured with geography! Her school's topic list is very war heavy so not sure she'd have enjoyed it.

The best options for her so far have been:
Citizenship - really enjoyed the course and got a good grade a year early.
Music - only one exam paper and she's got top grades for performance and composition, so that will balance out issues on the written paper.
Creative Media Production BTEC - no exams at all and she's on track for top marks.

GCSEs are hard for dyslexics, especially if they have working memory issues.

Media studies might be technical but there's still quite a lot of reading and writing. Food tech, PE, design, IT? Hopefully she's ok at maths as that's not to do with words?

I wouldn’t underestimate the power of an interested child to find ways to learn too . DS1 makes a lot of use of YouTube studying History - he’s made no revision notes at all but much to our surprise got a 9 in his mock when the previous exam had been a 5

My dyslexic ds did very well with maths and computer science type subjects. He avoided as much as possible anything that needed essays and no foreign languages

History is very content heavy with lots of facts.

PE GCSE has a coursework element ie the practical aspect, but it is also quite science based if that might be a factor.

Not many GCSEs have any coursework now. Is art a possibility tho? Or music? Drama also has quite a bit of practical. Both drama and music have written exams tho with a fair bit of analysis. For art you need to love it as it eats up time. But it is one fewer written GCSE in May/June as it is all completed earlier.

Dc1 has dyslexia. Did gcses 5 years ago. Was advised to pick geography rather than history (I'm so glad as dc3 is now doing history and it's lots of facts and writing). Also didn't do a language and was given extra maths/English lessons instead. Dc did photography which was great because it was minimal writing/lots of course work. Religious studies didn't seem too bad although there was writing not as much as some subjects.
Economics was also OK (it's not just maths, some writing but dc felt it wasn't too much) however I sometimes think that the ones dc performed best at were the ones he immersed himself in because he enjoyed it but also the ones with teachers that had an understanding of dyslexia/sen and gave different ways of learning a go.
With the English literature we got comic book strip books of the stories where we could, watched the movies etc. Tried audio books but this wasn't as useful as dc found the visual pictures easier to remember.
