What do our delegates say about the Developing Spelling Skills course?

“This course was effective in supporting my learning about the acquisition of spelling skills, a fundamental area but one that I had not fully considered in my career in higher education. It
was fascinating to learn about the origins of words and to consider techniques which would make acquiring spelling skills for adult learners an engaging and enjoyable experience.”

“Even though I found the spelling unit quite challenging, it was the one that I enjoyed the most out of all three units that I completed with Dyslexia Action. I will be using a lot of what I have learnt in this unit almost starting immediately!”

Dyslexia CPD delivered through our practice-led approach

This unit is comprised of three study cycles, each of which includes a Study, Practice, Reflect, and Collaborate section. There are also associated practical tasks, with reference to current research and case studies.
