Dyslexia

This webinar will begin by looking at the definitions of dyslexia. Indicators of dyslexia will be detailed along with a brief review of current screening tools to identify dyslexia. The talk will then focus on how to support learners with dyslexia, across all age ranges, offering practical strategies that teachers can use straight away with their learners. Strategies to support reading, spelling, writing, organisation and memory will be covered as well as ways to help build confidence and self-esteem.
