Breaking down barriers to writing and supporting dyslexic learners
Do you have pupils who struggle to…
- Record their ideas confidently with pen and paper?
- Read back their work accurately?
- Reach their potential as a writer?
Many schools are finding it increasingly difficult to provide effective ways for all pupils to record their ideas and produce writing that truly reflects their ability.
Andrew, our Senior Education Consultant, regularly works with schools across Greater Manchester to boost their literacy outcomes using Clicker.
Join Andrew in this 20-minute webinar, as he demonstrates how schools like Micklehurst All Saints Primary have overcome barriers to writing by implementing Clicker:
“Clicker just seems to switch on a light inside of them and they’re keener to write. A lot of the children are now, because of Clicker, more successful writers and enjoy writing much more.”
Registrants can join the webinar from 3:30pm onwards, but it will start promptly at 3:40pm.
