Each year, October is recognised worldwide as Dyslexia Awareness month, a time to come together to raise awareness, share resources and tell stories about dyslexia success.

Did you know?

  • Dyslexia is one of the most common learning difficulties affecting 5-10% of people.
  • Children and adults with dyslexia can have difficulties with accurate and fluent word recognition, spelling, writing and reading comprehension.
  • Students with dyslexia can improve their reading and spelling skills with evidence-based literacy instruction and intervention.
  • Dyslexia is not a vision issue and cannot be resolved by vision interventions such as coloured glasses or eye exercises.

SPELD NSW is an organisation which support children and adults with specific learning difficulties. They offer support, advise, resources and professional learning to both teachers and parents.

This month, they are offering a FREE Understanding Dyslexia on-line course! This professional learning opportunity is perfect for parents to help support their son/s in the home setting.
