Empowering Learning: Jumpstarting Literacy and Numeracy

Monday 23 October and Saturday 11 November
9.30 am - 3.30 pm


We know that many children continue to struggle with spelling and reading despite high quality phonics teaching. The missing link for many such students has been identified as the effective use of mental imagery in their learning. Mental imagery is a natural skill we use in most areas of life and tends to be thought of as the domain of 'natural learners.'

This very practical two-day course shows you how to coach your struggling students or your own children to use their mental imagery more effectively so they can begin to experience success with spelling, reading, mental maths and many other areas of learning.

This course is suitable for everyone.

We are fortunate to be able to offer this course through Helen Arkell at a reduced rate of £250 instead of the normal price of £395.

Interview with Dr Maryanne Wolf - Rewiring our thinking on literacy, dyslexia and learning difficulties
"This exuberant interview of Dr Maryanne Wolf contains a lot of very important messages about the reading brain, especially dyslexia. It went out over an Australian network but is equally relevant to England. Despite some minor quibbles, e.g. the brain cannot be ‘rewired ‘- that is a media headline – I think it would be very useful to draw it to the attention of teachers on training events. It speaks in a language they understand about the difficult concept of ‘brain plasticity’." Sir Jim Rose
