🌟 Last week I began another year of study. This time the LMIT Intervention Certificate.🤓 (Also still finishing up the last few assignments on the previous year of study - why do I do this to myself!! 😵💫🤯)
🌟 So far lots of understanding, inspiration and tools for best supporting our most vulnerable literacy learners at the intervention level.
🌟 Looking forward to implementing these create even better outcomes for the learners I work with.

🌟 October is Dyslexia Awareness Month. As I come to the end of a year of study with IMSLE (and about to begin another!🤓) I am so grateful to have the knowledge and skills to support learners who struggle with literacy.
🌟 Fact - "With intense, systematic instruction a person with dyslexia can become a good reader."
