Thanks so much for responding to my question.

I've had a number of different roles in my time as a teacher. I've been a tutor working with students that have learning difficulties, such as dyslexia. I've also provided literacy support to teachers....and now I'm also teaching my little girl at home.

Here you will find links to some articles that I've written about my experience of being a support teacher. There are also links to resources that will help you.

Trugs is a card game that follows a systematic synthetic phonics approach. The game comes in different boxes that includes stages and each stage builds on what has already been covered.

If you suspect a student that you're working with has dyslexia but you are unsure of what to look for, then these tips will help you begin the identification process. Download the free poster.
