Description


Do you want to help dyslexic children?


Is your child dyslexic? Are you working in a learning support? Have you started a new job as a Teaching Assistant and you feel insecure about how to help your learners? Are you a volunteer in a school and would like to be more effective in your support?


Dyslexia affects at least 2 children in each class, and many more children are at some point in the dyslexia spectrum. Dyslexia affects a child's ability to read with fluency and accuracy and it has long-term effects, including poor academic outcomes, low self-esteem and even social exlcusion.


What you'll learn

In this course you will learn effective and evidence-based strategies to support learners with dyslexia.


You will have a clear and concise guide about how you can identify and support learners with dyslexic-like difficulties.


We will cover study skills, multi-sensory and phonics-based literacy intervention and the use of phonological awareness activities.


My school is already using a reading scheme. Will this course help me?

The content of this course will be useful no matter what reading scheme you are using. It focuses on the latest scientific evidence of what helps learners with dyslexia.
