Dyslexia and Processing

'What is Dyslexia?' And resources to support home learning

The dyslexia association https://www.dyslexia.uk.net/what-is-dyslexia/

Some resources can be found below to support working at home.

Many of the activities found on the English Key Skills, Speech and Language and Sensory Circuit pages may be useful too.


  • Facebook support group for parents with dyslexic children 
  • SOS spelling is a dyslexia friendly approach to learning spelling. 
  •  www.timestables.co.uk is a great alternative to TTRockstars. You do not need a login and it does not have the time pressure that some pupils find tricky.
  • Complete some Listen and Do activities which support memory

Training

There are many resources available that can help a parent in their endeavours to teach their own dyslexic children. Some will be in the form of training courses from organisations such as the British Dyslexia Association or the Helen Arkell Dyslexia Centre.
