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.
