Learning Links’ new ‘Dyslexia Decoded’ online professional learning course provides a strategic way to teach children and adolescents to read with more structure, more enjoyment and less cognitive overload.
Are you supporting children who have a family history of Dyslexia or learning difficulties?
Are you teaching children to read and they are finding it challenging?
Are you working with children in upper primary or high school who are already behind in their reading, even after months (or years!) of practice?
If you’ve answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, then this is the perfect professional learning resource for you!
Learning Links is launching our most popular webinar ‘Dyslexia – What is it and how to help‘ as a comprehensive online professional learning course. This course has been developed from the feedback and questions our webinar presenters have received to provide you with an even deeper understanding of Dyslexia.
We know the frustration experienced by children and adolescents, their families and the professionals working with them when reading doesn’t come easy. We are right here with you, supporting children and adolescents every day in our Education Program.
We’ve created this self-paced course to take your learning deeper in relation to Dyslexia and address the most common questions we’re asked. You will know how to identify the signs of Dyslexia, pinpoint the starting points for intervention, confidently select the resources and tools you’ll need for an individual child or adolescent and manage things when they’re not quite going to plan.
The self-paced format of this course provides a flexible and customisable approach to professional learning. You can complete the course in one intensive sitting or take it one lesson at a time over a six-month period, wherever you like. We’ve recorded the content so you can watch this at a time and place that suits you, but we’ll be there every month live for a Q&A session to help you put your learning into action.
