Our short CPD course will allow you to motivate and equip your learner(s) with the skills and attributes required for effective study – such as reading, memory, revision and organisation – by creating a supportive learning environment and providing practical resources. You’ll explore the barriers to learning that can impede the development of study skills and methods that can improve access to learning. This course will particularly support those working with learners who have (or may have) dyslexia.
By completing this unit, you will be able to:
1. Identify the skills and attributes needed by the adult for effective self-study
2. Identify the difficulties that adults with dyslexia may experience in developing study skills
3. Describe a range of strategies that will develop study skills in adults with dyslexia
4. Critically reflect current practice and offer suggestions for improvements.

“I have really enjoyed the course. I have found the reading really stimulating, interesting and informative. I feel like I have learned a lot and it has helped me understand and empathise much more with the challenges adults with dyslexia face. I now feel much more equipped and enabled to support my students with the development of their study skills to enable independence and metacognition.”
“I have found the course invaluable in developing my tutoring skills and interaction with my students. It’s been great to be able to say I’m working towards a deadline too when they’ve got essay deadlines looming, and we could then share strategies and approaches for organisation etc. I particularly enjoyed designing the structural activity and discussing it with students. It also helped to focus my wider reading and to research different aspects that I may not have previously considered.”
“Thank you for such an illuminating and stimulating unit. You have encouraged us to engage fully with the challenge of developing writing skills in dyslexic learners, and I have found a number of very useful techniques which I am looking forward to using with my students. I also enjoyed interacting with the Unit Forum which was a compulsory element in this run of courses: a good thing as it makes the interactive aspect of the course come alive much more! The assignment also made me think about how to improve my practice.”
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.
