Description
Our own Claire Harvey, Head of Education, will be giving an online talk entitled There is more than one way to read a book – for learners with dyslexia.
This talk will touch on some of the reasons why many learners with dyslexia and related specific learning difficulties struggle with reading, potentially becoming reluctant readers and why reading matters so much. Most importantly, this talk will provide attendees with simple, practical strategies, activities and resources to help improve the reading development of a weaker reader and encourage even the most reluctant reader to re-engage with the wonderful world of reading.
This talk lasts around an hour.
