This six week course has been designed to help you understand how you can best support a child at home and at school.

Children with dyslexia may learn differently from you. We will cover how to recognise different learning profiles, multi-sensory learning, age-appropriate reading matter and tools, note taking, mindmapping, making numeracy more visual and how to gather evidence that a child needs help and support.

Week 2

Memory Mastery

Dyslexia is a learning difference that affects the way individuals process and retain information, often resulting in challenges with memory. This session will explore strategies and techniques for supporting memory in dyslexic learners, including interventions, such as mnemonics, graphic organisers, and multi-sensory approaches that can be personalised for learners to use in a variety of situations.
