How does the Learnersaurus Literacy Program help?
Many dedicated professionals and parents have spent years trying to support and expedite the process of assisting their students to read, write and spell, with little success. Students are often frustrated and disengaged in the classroom and in the learning support setting, while teachers are time poor, often looking for an easy-to-follow solution.
The Learnersaurus Literacy Program has taken many years to develop, with researched and evidence based methods, proving successful for those who struggle with literacy. Most students working with the Learnersaurus Literacy Program will see success within 10 weeks, and after 40 weeks using the program, the student should be reading confidently with improved spelling and writing skills.
What's in the course?
The reading, videos, worksheets and quizzes in this course will give you an understanding of the research around the evidence based methodologies used to support dyslexic learners. You will learn about how literacy develops, which is then used to support the application and methodologies used in the Learnersaurus Literacy program.
