What a lovely way to end a busy week at Dyslexia Sense! 💛

It means so much when families take the time to leave a review. Thank you for these kind words — they’ve put a big smile on my face as I finish up for the week.

Happy weekend, everyone! 😊

📚 Friday job… sorting out my pupil folders!

My 1:1 pupil folders have a habit of getting rather full as the weeks go by, so the end of the week is usually a good opportunity for a bit of sorting and organising!

There’s been even more in them than usual recently as I’ve been benchmarking my pupils at the start of the new school year – checking where they are now, looking at the progress they’ve made and identifying the areas we’ll focus on next.

A little bit of Friday organisation ready for next week’s lessons. 📁✏️ Although I’m not entirely sure the folders will stay tidy for long! 😂

Absolutely!

Being dyslexic doesn't necessarily mean being unable to read.

Some dyslexic children become very accurate readers, particularly as they get older and develop strategies to compensate for the things they find harder.

But look a little more closely and you might notice that reading is slower or takes more effort, unfamiliar words are harder to decode, or the child relies heavily on recognising words they have seen before.

And sometimes reading isn't the area causing the greatest concern at all – spelling may be much more challenging.

This is one of the reasons a dyslexia assessment investigates lots of different areas.

It looks at a much broader range of skills to understand how that individual child processes language and approaches literacy tasks.

Because every dyslexic child has a different profile 🧠

Parents often ask me, “How do I know whether it’s worth having my child assessed?”🧐

There isn’t one single sign that indicates if a child is dyslexic, but there can be patterns that are worth exploring 🔎

None of these 5 signs individually means that a child has dyslexia – and there can be many reasons why a child experiences them too 🧠

A diagnostic assessment looks much more widely at a child’s strengths, areas of difficulty, background and development to understand the overall pattern 👌

☕️ It’s the little things…!

My new Dyslexia Sense mugs arrived today and I’m ridiculously pleased with them! 🥰

Of course, I had to put one to use straight away. They’re certainly going to get plenty of use with the amount of coffee I drink to get me through report writing! ☕️💻

I’m pretty sure the brews are going to taste even better now they’re in a Dyslexia Sense mug!

I’m actually considering ordering some more for family and friends for Christmas… whether they want one or not! 😂🎄

It’s been lovely to be back in school this week! 📚

I’ve really enjoyed catching up with my 1:1 students after the summer break and hearing all about their holidays and the start of their new school year.

It’s also been a great opportunity to have a good sort through my reading and spelling resources and refresh my school bag. It’s always so heavy because there’s so many different ways to teach the same skills!

One of the things I love about specialist teaching is finding the strategies that work best for each individual child. Children with dyslexia don’t all experience the same difficulties, and what clicks for one child might not work as well for another.

I might use magnetic letters to explore spelling patterns, colour and visual prompts to help make things more memorable, word-building activities, games, flashcards or repeated reading to develop accuracy and fluency.

Sometimes it takes a little experimenting to discover what really works for each individual child – and that’s all part of the fun! ❤️ And, if I can make practising reading and spelling a little more enjoyable along the way, even better! 😊

I hope back-to-school has gone well so far📚

The first few weeks of a new school year can be tiring for children – new teachers, new classrooms, new routines and, for some, a big increase in expectations 🧠

For children who find reading, spelling or writing difficult, getting back into the school routine can take a little extra energy too😴

So if things feel a bit wobbly at first, give them time to settle ❤️

And as the term gets underway, if you do have concerns about your child’s literacy skills, it can be helpful to speak to their teacher and find out what they are noticing in school too 😊

Sometimes the most useful starting point is simply building a clearer picture of what a child is finding difficult – and what they’re doing really well🙌

And just like that… a new school year begins! 📚🍎

A big day in our house today, with one heading off to start Sixth Form and the other beginning Year 9. I’m not quite sure how that happened!

There are always lots of mixed emotions at the start of a new school year – excitement, nerves, new teachers, new routines and new challenges ahead.

Wishing all the children and young people heading back to school this week a really happy and successful start to the new academic year – and good luck to all the parents getting everyone out of the door on time again! 😅

Here’s to a positive year ahead. ❤️

There’s nothing like the arrival of a new test kit to completely distract me from report writing! 😂📦📚

I’m always looking for ways to develop my practice and make sure my assessments provide as full and useful a picture as possible of each child’s individual strengths and difficulties 🧠

This latest investment will allow me to explore some areas in greater depth, including receptive and expressive language skills, as well as providing further opportunities to investigate mathematical skills where appropriate 🙌

No single test can tell us everything about how a child learns, which is why I use a range of carefully selected assessments alongside background information, observations and professional judgement to build up an individual profile 😊

More learning for me too, as I get to know all the new materials! 🤓

01/09/2026

Anyone else feel like it’s a little cooler today? For me, it’s definitely starting to feel like the new term is just around the corner 🍂

This is me getting organised! I’ve been sorting out my stationery and resources, updating my diary and checking the term dates, as well as getting my Dyslexia Sense space ready for the assessments and specialist tuition I have coming up.

There’s always a little bit of sadness when the summer holidays come to an end, but I’m also feeling really positive about the term ahead 🙌

I’m looking forward to getting back into a routine, seeing the children I already work with and meeting some new ones along the way.

Here’s to a new school year! 📚✏️
