About this event

The fair brings together families, teachers and the wider dyslexia community to learn more about dyslexia, talk to experts, discover useful resources and share experiences and advice.

Our busy programme of talks features panel discussions on supporting students in primary and secondary school, workshops exploring how the use of technology can support learning at home and at school.

Local primary school dyslexia specialist teacher Ruth Pierce and secondary school and FE dyslexia expert, Tina Hunter will be running one to one advice clinics. Elizabeth Takyi from Aspire 2 Inspire will talk about her experience of being an adult with dyslexia; blogger John Hicks will talk about the part assistive technology can play in learning and SEND expert, Carol Allen looks at ways to help your reluctant readers.

Creative workshops for children and adults alike will take place across the day, inside and in the garden. Simon Trewin from the Garage Press will be running letterpress printing workshops throughout the day.

There’ll be Pilates sessions designed especially for children called ‘Matching and Mirroring’, Chi Kung for the young and the not so young to help build positivity and resilience, plus Write Sparks are back with their fun active outdoor workshop for children 9+ to help inspire the imagination.

An exhibition of local and national dyslexia resources and products will run throughout the day in the house and refreshments will be available at the cafe.
