Preparing for Study: Strategies for the Year Ahead

Study skills strategies are key to academic success. Alison Patrick presents a webinar focused on study skills strategies, at the beginning of the new academic year

Study skills strategies can be of huge benefit when planning for a new academic year. This course offers a variety of strategies for different aspects of study, both in the classroom and when studying independently.

The course offers strategies to maximise classroom learning and coursework performance. Strategies target study skills for learners with Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, ADHD and Autism, focusing on strategies for literacy, memory, organisation and concentration. Tactics are taken from The Memory and Processing Guide for Neurodiverse Learners – strategies for success

Morph Mastery in the Classroom

Morphology (prefixes, suffixes and roots) is embedded in the English spelling curriculum alongside and beyond phonics from Year 1. This practical workshop, presented by Louise Selby, will enable teachers to explore how the Morph Mastery materials can be used to support spelling in an engaging, multi-sensory and metacognitive way.
Morph Mastery is a book of curriculum-linked intervention, assessment, games and strategies designed for learners with literacy difficulties, but the resources can be used effectively for all learners in class and groups to support spelling and vocabulary. This is a chance for class and group teachers to find out more.

Literacy Interventions: What's Proven and What's Not

Teaching intervention approaches which are typically methods that aim to remediate children’s underlying phonological and language deficits - with resultant improvements in their literacy achievements. Approaches such as these contrast sharply with so-called ‘miracle cures’ that abound in the field of dyslexia (and other developmental disorders) for which only limited validating evidence is available. Examples of good versus inadequate RCTs will be presented. The aim of this webinar is to encourage teachers to look at the available teaching methods and programmes with a critical eye, to judge them according to whether they have been scientifically proven or not and to feel confident that the ones that they choose will really help.

Dyslexia: The Phonology-Reading Disconnection Hypothesis: Why It Doesn’t Tell the Whole Story!

research from neuroscience and cognitive psychology over the last 10-15 years has shown us that dyslexic difficulties vary in degree and expression, and they commonly co-occur with other learning disorders; these findings do not fit comfortably with the phonology-reading disconnection hypothesis which assumes that brain regions and cognitive functions are separate and independent of each other. This webinar will explore how we have been forced to rethink our causal hypotheses of dyslexia to take account of moderator and co-occurring variables that create individual differences, and which do therefore impact the expression and outcome of the disorder.
