Who is it for?
For those working in education settings, tutors, and parents and carers looking to learn more about dyslexia, strategies to develop your learner’s reading and spelling skills and lots of ideas about activities for those with dyslexia, dyslexic traits or struggling to develop skills.

It even works with age 60+ learners.
Reading and spelling inaccuracies can be a result of many things, not just dyslexia. For most, it’s the first thing which is considered when the individual presents with a reading and writing difficulty. However, other learning differences can also be the underlying cause behind reading and spelling problems.
