Welcome to my new blog!
Every month (and sometimes in between) I will be sharing our news and views and 'Spelling Out' all things Made By Dyslexia. I hope you’ll follow along and spread the word to help everyone, everywhere understand the #ValueOfDyslexia.
NEW Dyslexia Awareness Training.
This month we’re so excited to tell you about our new Teacher and Parents Dyslexia Awareness Training that we’ve created with Microsoft. The training includes our new inspirational Dyslexia Awareness Films and anyone anywhere around the world can access it for free.
Dyslexia expert teachers from two world-leading schools are sharing their wisdom and expertise alongside successful dyslexic celebrities who contribute their insights and inspiring stories.
Click on the link below to view the training course.
The course only takes about an hour and will provide essential insights into dyslexia, which we believe all educators and parents should have.
We would LOVE your help to share this far and wide. Please recommend it to your schools, your friends, to parents and share this blog and our posts on social media.
You can also watch the films on our YouTube channel.
About Dyslexia
Dyslexia is the most common learning difference affecting between 10 - 20% of kids…so a sizeable cohort in every class. Yet most teachers aren’t trained in how to spot it...or support it. We have to change that! With school budgets and time so stretched, dyslexia often slips down the list of priorities, when actually even small changes can make a huge difference. AND what’s good for dyslexic kids.. is good for all kids!
We know that dyslexics have a different way of processing information which means they often struggle with more traditional education and testing. But our report with EY Value of Dyslexia found these thinking skills are the very skills that are needed in the 21st Century. So it’s really important we help everyone understand the #ValueOfDyslexia and how to support Dyslexic Thinking.
This Dyslexia Awareness Training will help you do just that! Watch these kids talking about their dyslexic strengths.
Keep and eye out for 5 new modules coming later this year and more in-depth training coming next year.
Thank you!

5 年thank you for presenting your amazing perspective on dyslexia! It really gives me the strength to search for the best ways of development for my son who has dyslexia.?
Passionate about making the curriculum accessible to all. We have now launched a GCSE science topic pack range making science topics SO much easier to understand & remember. Designed for dyslexics, effective for all.
5 年We love what you are doing! As the mum with a severely dyslexic daughter, I was shocked to find the complete lack of resources that she was able to access at school. That's why we created a different way of presenting curriculum based information, specifically designed to help dyslexics and other SEN children. I would love the opportunity to show our range to you. We are now supplying over 400 UK schools but have a long way to go BUT we are making a huge difference to pupil outcomes. You can read some of our teacher reviews here:?https://www.oakabooks.co.uk/pages/teacher-testimonials and parent comments here:?https://www.oakabooks.co.uk/pages/teacher-testimonials Our biggest challenge is getting our products known. Any help you could give in spreading the word would be so welcome. Our goal is for dyslexic children to be able to be their best in the classroom and to give them the resources and tools for that to happen. It would be great to see if there is any way we can work together?
