About this session
Some children find aspects of literacy challenging because they are dyslexic. This may mean that they do not achieve age-appropriate levels in reading, spelling and writing. Their self-esteem and confidence in learning can be affected.
If you want to know more about dyslexia and want help identifying and support a child’s difficulties, this session provides practical support and guidance.What is dyslexia?
There are three main markers of dyslexia. When a child has significant difficulties within these areas, a diagnosis of dyslexia may be made by specialist assessor or Educational Psychologist.
Some children with dyslexia have other difficulties too. They may experience issues with organisation, attention, concentration and motor skills. These by themselves are not markers of dyslexia but may run alongside.
This session is packed with strategies to support dyslexic children in the classroom and at home, including dyslexia friendly practice, accessing text, writing and a wealth of ideas for you to add to your toolkit.
