Lucy Stubbs, Dyslexia and Literacy Specialist

I hope you all had a fabulous Easter break. Just a quick reminder that lessons re-start this week. Looking forward to catching up with everyone again soon 🙂

So we have reached the end of term. It has been such a privilege to get to work with such fabulous and talented children and I hope they all have a wonderful Easter break.
Each term we keep a tally of the number of times we each win a game. And every term the children beat me😄 This the score in Machynlleth this term.
Playing games to reinforce what we've been learning is a key part of our lessons. If you think your child would enjoy playing games to improve their literacy then do get in touch today.
No child should have to struggle and with the right support they really can reach their potential.

Is your child struggling with reading and spelling? Do they find it hard to get their ideas down on paper? Maybe they're struggling with numeracy, having trouble recalling times tables or grasping key concepts. I can help. Things are very busy right now but, starting after Easter, I do have two lesson slots available weekly on Wednesday mornings in Aberystwyth and a weekly lesson space available after school on Tuesday or Thursday in Machynlleth. Contact me today to find out more and secure your place. I really look forward to helping you to support your child.

I often get asked for tips on getting children to read so have just written a blog about it. Hope it is useful.

Here we are at the end of another term! Merry Christmas. Well done to all the children I have taught this term, have a good break.

There are some questions that I get asked time and time again so I have made a blog post of the most frequently asked questions. Hope it is useful 😊

Looking forward to welcoming everyone back this week. Hope you all had a wonderful half term break 😊

Happy half term break everyone. Hope you all have fun and I look forward to seeing you again soon.

Do teachers describe your child as lazy and say that they don't pay attention? Do they say that they need to try harder and stop daydreaming? And have you noticed that they are falling behind in their literacy skills? If so, I can help. The most common reason for struggling with literacy is dyslexia and dyslexia also affects a child's ability to process information and their working memory. Contact me today to find out how to support your child. No child should have to struggle and with the right support they can reach their true potential.

This week is Dyslexia Awareness Week and I would like to reach as many people as possible. I am offering free consultations - in person or online - to anyone concerned about dyslexia. Maybe you are a parent or grandparent concerned about a child's progress. Maybe you are a young person struggling at college or university. Or maybe you're an adult trying to support a dyslexic learner. Whatever your situation, I can help. If you'd like some advice then please contact me today.

Big thanks to all the children (and parents) who battled through the storm yesterday to get to the party. So lovely to see you all. Great to see a couple of past pupils there too and catch up with all your news. So proud of you all.
