Have you tried our fun SEN & Dyslexia friendly word game called Pot the Lobster.

Brian’s bulldog scuttled over a squelchy banker...or was it a pigsty??

One of the delegates at our SpLD Central conference told us how a 16 yr old boy with selective mutism spoke his first ever complete sentence in a game of Pot the Lobster.

This card game is a hilarious new slant on the old game of Rummy: collect all the segments of the lobster to make a nonsense sentence. That’s easy - but then you have to keep it in your head while the other players try to put you off, and only if you repeat it from memory do you win the game!

Great fun for anyone from 7 to adult, with or without dyslexia; useful for those who need to work on their memory, their language, or reading two-syllable words that bristle with consonant clusters. Or none of the above, but just to have a giggle!

The below image shows the brain scan of an individual with Visual Stress while reading.

On the left, they are reading through a coloured overlay. On the right, they are reading with no overlay.

This shows how the correct coloured overlay can calm the brain and make reading easier and more comfortable.
