Hi,

I just wanted to let you know that the new course 'Supporting Dyslexia at home' is now launched and live on CATTS Courses.

If you are a Subscriber to one of our All Access Plans either individually, or through your Parent Support Group or School, - guess what? It is automatically added to your subscription at no extra cost, so if this is an area that is of interest to you, you can just login and view it now!

You can access the course HERE or copy and paste the direct link below:

(Sometimes email programs disable the easy to click links!)

So, what is covered in this new course?

You will learn to:

Support literacy skills of a child with dyslexia at home.

Support homework and study.

Boost self-esteem.

Foster a home-school bridge.

This course has been formatted into consecutive micro lessons. This is to allow a parent to refer to any portion or heading as needed when you need it.

The individual video lessons cover:

Vocabulary

Phonemic Awareness

Phonics

Fluency

Comprehension

Spelling

Writing

Creative Writing

Homework support

Home Study

Boosting Self-Esteem

Advocating for themselves

Creating a home school bridge

Ideally- you will view this after you have completed Dyslexia 101, which you can also take HERE, or by copying the direct link below.

If you are a parent of a child and are wondering if your child may have dyslexia, you can look at our article on our Online Speech Therapy site HERE, or by copying the direct link below.

This short article outlines some of the key signs of dyslexia, as well as things you can try at home. At the end there is a short screener which you can complete. If you tick 3 or more boxes, then it may be worth looking at getting more direct support for your child.

That's all for now. Happy Halloween everyone!
