PG Cert in Specialist Teaching and Assessment for Dyslexia
During the course, you will learn more about the key characteristics of dyslexia as well as exploring different perspectives and definitions of it. Developing your understanding of the signs and symptoms of dyslexia and knowing what to look out for when working with learners will help you think about how to effectively plan specialist one-to-one teaching sessions that can support children in their areas of challenge. The Rose Report (Rose, 2009) will further develop your understanding of dyslexia as it provides suggestions on how to identify and teach children with dyslexia and literacy difficulties.
The Rose Report (Rose, 2009)
The Rose Report (Rose, 2009) is an important document related to the support for learners with literacy difficulties which local authorities and educational settings should provide. This report not only provides a definition for dyslexia but also includes suggestions on the teaching approaches that have significant impact for learners with dyslexia and literacy difficulties. Within the document, there is a recommendation to expand teaching approaches to allow for more flexible and innovative literacy learning, including the introduction of high-quality phonics work. This document is particularly helpful when you move forward with your specialist teaching as part of the course.
