Supporting Children with Dyslexia

What the course covers

This course helps early years practitioners understand dyslexia, recognise the early signs, and support young children whose profile suggests they may go on to be dyslexic.

• What Dyslexia Is and Is Not
• How Dyslexia Presents in the Early Years
• The Foundations Every Child Needs
• Recognising Early Indicators
• Distinguishing Concern from Ordinary Variation
• Supporting a Child You Are Worried About
• Working With Parents Around Dyslexia
• Working With the Wider Team
• Building a Dyslexia-Aware Setting
• Transition, Long View and Advocacy

What your team takes away

• 11 lessons, 55 to 70 minutes. Short enough to finish in a sitting without disrupting the working day.
• Built from current guidance and written for the role rather than the theory, so it can be applied straight away.
• Interactive throughout, with a multiple choice assessment at the end. A certificate carrying its own reference number is issued on passing, and it can be verified online at any time.

How it runs

The course opens in a browser on a phone, a tablet or a desktop, with nothing to install. Progress is saved as it goes, so someone can stop and pick it back up. The assessment sits at the end, and passing it issues a certificate with its own reference number that an inspector or an auditor can check.

Who it is for

Anyone working in Early Years, as part of CPD.
