3. Examine and evaluate screening tools for dyslexia. Demonstrate an understanding of the necessity to prepare thoroughly prior to screening. 4. Use a range of screening tools, record findings and create a detailed and professional Screening Report.
Module 3: Targeted Intervention 1. Identify the features of quality first dyslexia-friendly teaching strategies for supporting memory, sequencing, organisation, reading, writing, maths and wellbeing. 2. Promote the development of efficient study skills and understand why this is particularly important for dyslexic students. Explore the potential of Assistive Technology (AT) & review the range of available tools. 3. Demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the challenges dyslexic learners can face with literacy and learning, evaluate the theoretical foundations of effective interventions, and critically analyse a selection of potential interventions. 4. Demonstrate the ability to effectively prepare for, implement and evaluate a 10-hour intervention programme by creating detailed lesson plans, conducting thorough evaluations and summarising learner progress. Assessment: The overall grade for the qualification is a ‘pass’. The learner must achieve all the required modules as indicated in the specified qualification structure. To pass a module the learner must: • achieve all specified learning outcomes • satisfy all the assessment criteria by providing sufficient and valid evidence for each criterion • show that the evidence is their own The assessment criteria include a range of activities, Dyslexia Academy Forum Contribution, quizzes, lesson plans and evaluations in each module. Activities throughout each module will deepen your understanding and help you apply what you’ve learned. Suggested reading and activity at the end of each module will help you better grasp key concepts discussed. Module 3 includes planning, preparing and completing 10 hours of an intervention programme for a chosen student. Participants of this qualification must identify one student who primarily struggles with literacy and is not receiving other specialist support. If you work in a school, this should be done within the school setting. If you are an independent tutor, this can take place in a home setting, provided the necessary permissions are obtained, but it must not involve your own child. Demands Each module tasks are released gradually each week with the Dyslexia Academy accompanying Study Guide to guide you through the on demand tutorials with our specialist team and the learning activities. There are no live tutorials or scheduled meetings, allowing you the flexibility to learn at your own pace.
