Understanding Dyslexia
Dyslexia is a common learning difference that affects how the brain processes language, making reading, spelling, and decoding more challenging. It can also impact memory, processing speed, and recognizing sounds in words. For some dyslexic children, traditional school environments aren't conducive to learning, and they may find themselves struggling—not because they lack ability, but because they need a different approach. With specialist dyslexia tutoring, students can make significant progress through a multi-sensory, structured, and graduated approach to literacy. In a nurturing environment, dyslexic learners can build literacy skills in a way that aligns with how they learn best, helping them gain confidence, independence, and success on their learning journey."
Multi-Sensory Techniques
Using multi-sensory techniques, Catherine engages students through visual, auditory, and kinesthetic methods, making learning more effective and enjoyable. She also fosters metacognitive skills, encouraging students to reflect on their thinking and learning processes, which enhances their independence and ability to tackle challenges with confidence.
Phonics and Spelling
Tutoring begins by reviewing dyslexia reports. An assessment is then carried out to establish a clear starting point. This identifies specific gaps in phonics and spelling skills. Tutoring is then tailored to create a structured intervention plan so that essential reading, writing and spelling foundations can be built. Using a graduated and structured approach with an emphasis on overlearning, skills are reinforced through repetition and progressively challenging tasks. This method builds a solid foundation ensuring children gain fluency, confidence and long term mastery in literacy skills.
