Making the Invisible Visible

Free, evidence-based dyslexia training for teachers and teaching assistants.

Every classroom has children with dyslexia but too often, teachers aren’t given the tools to support them. This FREE course changes that.

The training is ready to use and can be facilitated by any member of staff or your SENCO, allowing schools to deliver it in a way that suits their setting.

Equipping Educators. Empowering Learners.

Every classroom includes learners with dyslexia but far too often, teachers lack the training and tools they need to support them. Making the Invisible Visible is our answer: a free, evidence-based training course for educators and teaching assistants that bridges the gap between intention and impact.

Why This Course Matters

  • Dyslexia is not about intelligence; it’s about how the brain processes language.

  • Many children with dyslexia struggle with phonological processing, word retrieval, and working memory.

  • These challenges can erode confidence, reduce engagement, and affect long-term academic outcomes.

  • But dyslexia also brings strengths: creativity, big-picture thinking, and problem-solving ability.

  • When teachers are equipped with the right strategies, learners with dyslexia don’t just survive — they thrive.
