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 6

Managing Maths

Around 60% of people with dyslexia are thought to have maths learning difficulties and many people have maths anxiety. This session will look at the challenges that dyslexic learners face when it comes to processing mathematical information and offer practical tips to support their learning. It will cover multi-sensory strategies to support retrieval of maths facts, as well as, developing a better understanding of mathematical concepts. Useful resources and games will be demonstrated to aid the completion of maths tasks at home and in the classroom.
