KCSIE - Keeping Children Safe in Education
Dyslexia
This is a school-specific course. Students learn in different ways, and face unique challenges, one of which is Dyslexia. Dyslexia is a learning difficulty which affects reading and spelling skills. If you notice some students find these challenging, they may benefit from additional resources and support. This course will help you spot signs of dyslexia and learn how to access the correct support for dyslexic students.
Learning outcomes:
- Describe dyslexia and its prevalence, to better understand its impact on students
- Recognise the signs of dyslexia in students and when to refer them for assessment, to make sure they receive appropriate assistance
- Identify strategies for teaching students with dyslexia, to adjust your teaching approach to be more inclusive of those students
You may have heard of it in passing, but if you’ve ever asked, “What is dyslexia?”, then this course is for you. You’ll learn about dyslexia, how to recognise it, and its impact on students. You’ll also come away with some strategies for teaching students with dyslexia inclusively.
Although this is a school-specific course, anyone who is curious about dyslexia and interested in supporting those with additional learning needs will find it useful.
Peace of mind with testing
This course also has an assessment at the end which allows learners to test their understanding and helps businesses demonstrate a level of competence in the topic.
