Summer offer – £10 off Developing Numeracy and Dyscalculia short course starting online 14 July 2021

In a letter sent to the Prime Minister on 1 December 2020, the Council for Science and Technology (CST) shared six recommendations exploring how this research can help to nurture the development of school learners around key skills, such as reading, writing, spelling and numeracy.  The letter is in line with research published in 2019 by education experts from Loughborough and Ulster universities around the importance of identifying the difficulties that learners with dyslexia, dyscalculia and co-occurring difficulties face with numeracy and provide educators advice and training on strategies that can help learners improve their mathematical reasoning.
