Next week (12th July) will be our last class before the summer break and to raise funds we'll be selling cakes so would be grateful for any donations (please nothing with nuts in!). Please let me know if you'd be willing to man the stall at any time during the evening.

All classes will resume on 13th September, with the exception of:-

Dawn Budd - returns 20th September

New Handwriting or Study & Homework Skills Course

Handwriting is a 12 week course specifically designed to help support children with dyslexia. Cursive handwriting will be taught. This continuous flowing, joined-up-style of writing, rather than printing out the letters is preferable for students with dyslexia.

Study & Homework Skills is a 6 week course which covers getting organised, time management, setting goals, improving memory skills, improving reading skills, seeking help when needed, handling stress, looking after yourself and understanding that learning can be fun.

These Classes will be at our normal venue, George Mitchell School Secondary Site, Farmer Road, Leyton, E10 5DN on a Tuesday during term time at 6pm for one hour. The cost is £14 per session, payable at the start of each half-term.

If you are interested in your child attending either of these courses please contact me as soon as possible as there are limited places available. Depending on numbers will depend on which course we run.
