About this Course
We have come a long way in our understanding of dyslexia and its impact in schools. However, this knowledge does not always reach practitioners at the coalface. Myths and misinformation about how to meet the needs of learners with dyslexia persist, leaving many unsure how best to support them.
As a result:
- Support can feel inconsistent.
- Strategies don’t always address the root difficulty.
- Staff are left unsure what actually works.
This two-part webinar series bridges that gap — bringing clarity, confidence and practical direction.
What you’ll learn
Across the two modules, you’ll gain:
- A clearer understanding of the underlying causes of literacy difficulties.
- Practical ways to adapt teaching across the curriculum.
- Strategies to support reading, writing and spelling effectively.
- Insight into metacognition and learning behaviours.
- Guidance on creating a supportive, inclusive school environment.

10/10 – Very well presented and clear to a range of people from assessors through to parents. My HLTA was also on this course and is looking forward to including your ideas to her intervention sessions. My head of English also found it useful.
