| Services Offered: | Two or three children in every classroom struggle to learn to read and write. Many will progress well with good phonics (sound based) teaching but for those with more severe needs it is essential that they have access to specialist teaching. Currently many of these children do not get the help they need due to lack of trained specialist staff and their difficulties can go unnoticed or unexplained.
Without the correct identification and support dyslexia can be a barrier to learning and can lead to failure at school, exclusion or anti-social behaviour. For many children who struggle to learn, their behaviour and confidence can be badly affected. Signs of dyslexia: •Difficulties with reading •Difficulties with spelling •Poor sequencing skills •Poor short-term memory •Lack of phonological awareness – ability to break down words and recognise separate units of sound •Confusion with left and right •Problems with reading comprehension •Difficulties with mathematics •Difficulties with musical notation •Poor handwriting •Difficulties expressing thoughts orally •Poor organisational skills •Is there someone else in the family with similar difficulties? |
