SUPPORT YOUR CHILD WITH READING AND SPELLING:
Expert strategies explained for parents
How to help your child when they have difficulty with reading and spelling, including dyslexia
Does your child have to put in huge effort when trying to recognise letters and words, remember how to spell or understand what they read?
Do they avoid reading and writing at home, get easily frustrated doing homework or cry because they find learning so hard?
Do you want to find out how children learn to read and spell, better understand dyslexia, and know what to say and do when supporting your child with their learning at home?
If your answers are YES then this course is perfect for you! And because it's presented in 'bitesize' lessons, you can complete it in a couple of hours, or view in chunks to fit in with your lifestyle.
I'm looking forward to sharing more from my psychology toolbox with you! Watch the video to find out more about what's included...
