The Dyslexia-SpLD Trust launch two new parent resources

As part of its Empowering Parents and Carers initiative, the Dyslexia-SpLD Trust is launching two new 'Parent Champion' resources.

These have been developed in response to a survey of over 500 parents and carers. The survey was commissioned to enable the British Dyslexia Association, Dyslexia Action, Helen Arkell Dyslexia Centre and Springboard for Children (working together as The Dyslexia-SpLD Trust) to provide relevant and practical support through the Parent Champion website.

Short Films with Top Tips on Reading, Handwriting, Spelling, Organisation and Memory

Julianne Miller, specialist teacher and mum gives you her 'Top Tips' on supporting your child with reading, handwriting, spelling, organisation and memory. These short films contain practical tips aimed at helping children aged 5 to 11 years. You can watch the films here.

'Understanding Dyslexia' - A Guide for Families

This booklet was written by parents and children - for parents and children. It's written by Parent Champion Emma Seymour and her 8-year-old son. It is for mums, dads and carers to share with their children.

Understanding Dyslexia will be sent free to all parents and carers who want to join our national team of Parent Champions at www.parentchampions.org.uk. You can also download the guide here.
