TRANSCRIPT
Children at Leehurst Swan celebrated ‘Dyslexia Awareness Week’ last week.
Each department focussed on a dyslexia-friendly activity. Children in the Prep enjoyed finding alternatives to written recording during ‘No Pens Day Wednesday’. Children in Pre-Prep found out more about language during a ‘Letters and
Sounds day’. Pupils in the senior school learned that dyslexia is not a barrier to success by finding out more
about dyslexic celebrities. The senior teachers also introduced a range of dyslexia-friendly strategies into their
teaching.Pupils throughout the school commented on how much
they enjoyed the range of activities. And, of course, dyslexia-friendly teaching is good teaching
for everyone!
