A quiz and cut out activity on the facts about dyslexia, and a design task for students to create their own dyslexia awareness logo! Use this resource for Dyslexia Awareness Week to educate your students on the facts about dyslexia and get them thinking about how they can support their dyslexic peers. Dyslexia is a learning difference to do with information processing. It primarily affects reading, writing and spelling skills. However, it can also affect concentration, organisation and the ability to remember information.

A Mind Map, created in PowerPoint, that works as a poster or as a mini presentation that could be used as part of staff training or to build awareness. This list of difficulties is not exhaustive but is a flavour of some of the issues that can affect students with dyslexia.

This is a 10-15 minute narrated assembly about dyslexia. It includes a short downloaded video which will never disappear and defines the condition, how it feels and the benefits of dyslexia looking at famous people with it. It goes through the problems someone with dyslexia has but also focuses on the strengths of having dyslexia. It also shows the students common misconceptions of dyslexia and finishes with an extension video if needed. You can easily delete the icon on each slide if you do not want it narrated. This was originally an assembly for Years 7-13 (Ages 11-18 KS3, KS4 and KS5) but it is also suitable for KS2. It can also be linked with the new RSHE curriculum, the PSHE curriculum or a whole school tutor time resource. There are no written activities in this presentation but it can easily be lengthened if it is needed for a longer lesson.

This double sided placemat was designed for a student in my creative writing and english literature classes that has dyslexia, she has an alphabet in front of her on paper to help her form the words she wants to write and I designed and made this and laminated it so she could put it in her file and have it for every lesson instead of the scrap of paper she kept losing. This was a great success for her and formed part of my QTLS entry.

This bundle includes: 17 posters for all department areas which you can add your school logo to 1 assembly for Ks3 or 4 SEN SpLD strategy sheet for staff

This is a wonderful dyslexia friendly version of Get Students Talking. There is good evidence that the better a student’s language skills, the better are their life chances in and beyond school. Students can make significant gains with these resources. This beautiful collection of fantastic resources will help to get students talking, sharing, caring and making sense of what is being said. Advantages of using these resources include: getting students more actively involved in their learning, developing deeper understanding, widening vocabulary and social interaction skills, improving presentation techniques in a safe environment, enhancing listening skills, developing student curiosity, questioning, reasoning, analysis, explaining, justifying, understanding, boosting their self-esteem, developing their confidence, giving them exposure and experience in being reflective, and cultivating a sense of joy of learning and a sense of purpose. Each task is suggestive and adaptive/flexible. Each task could be a starter, a plenary, a break out session, a small group activity, an inclusion, enrichment, extended task and they can be used across the curriculum and beyond for consolidation. Students learn about sounds and emphasis, word choices and word combinations, phonics, spoken content, talking construction, deconstruction, emphasis, imagery, what’s missing from a line of reasoning, types of questioning, cooperation and through practice and reflection. They learn from each other and about themselves. You know students benefit if they are involved, so let them organise and lead on some of the activities whilst the teacher plays other roles such as facilitator, coach or assistant. Brilliant.

Plenty of documents exist in education, but how can we get our head around them for the purposes of research and evidence based approaches in school? This dyslexia friendly version of the use of documents in research has already been successfully used in pre-school, primary and secondary schools, in colleges and FE organisations, making a positive impact on what is done and what should be done. Simple, powerful and positive. Positive comments from some recent users of this book include: Most schools are full of documents and data... Dr Slater is among the first to show how they can be used to compare what is said on paper and in interviews... The results will shock you...Dr Slater is a successful high school teacher and an award winning author... and here’s why...Fantastic little book, punches well above its weight...Makes it seem so simple... the art of the genius...As an advocate of the What Works agenda, I think this book really is a wake-up call...A fantastic insight into the potential for using documents in research...Nails twenty years of research in twenty minutes...Worth every dime...Every student in my class (6th form) has been told to buy this book... and it’s easy to see why...Shines a great big light on the power of documents in research... Surely this is the best book in its field...First class...I kept referring to this book in my presentation last week and the audience was ecstatic...Education research, usually has little effect on me... Until now... This book is formidable...Crushes the concept that education research is rubbish... fantastic insight...Blows you away with its power and simplicity...Huge reality check, senior school managers at good schools tell the truth, other’s don’t, won’t or can’t, and their students suffer.

Engage. Enrich. Enjoy. After 40 years of teaching, research, and education management, here are the key characteristics of what I have found to be in Good Leaders. You can use these resources to: • open discussions and debates about the characteristics of a good leader; • rank the most important characteristics to you; • map the characteristics of leaders around you; • reflect and identify what you have, and what you think you still need to have, to be a good leader; • ask a colleague to assess you on each characteristic; • compare your answers with your colleagues; • identify what you need to work on, and • help develop characteristics a good leader in each of your students. You can look for and develop these characteristics in: • yourself • your teams • your faculty • your school • your managers and • each and every student. In this resource, which has successfully been used in England and beyond, I set out the characteristics of a good leader. The resource is set out as dyslexia friendly resource, following the British Dyslexia Association’s dyslexia friendly style guide.
