Dyslexia Training for all teachers in Pre-Tertiary level of Education in Africa.

Duration: 7 hr 12 min, Learning Path ,7 Modules

Join us in a transformative journey to empower educators and parents across Africa! We are thrilled to launch the Africa continental Dyslexia Training, with generous support of Made By Dyslexia and  Microsoft’s Dyslexia Training initiative.

Unlock the Potential in Every Learner

Dyslexia affects one in five learners, presenting unique challenges but also incredible opportunities for growth and learning. With the right support, dyslexic individuals can achieve extraordinary success. The training program is designed to equip you with the knowledge and tools to make a significant difference in the lives of dyslexic learners.

Training Overview

The comprehensive training program is structured into four levels, each tailored to deepen your understanding and enhance your ability to support dyslexic learners effectively:

Level 1 training: Dyslexia Awareness equips ALL teachers and parents with the essentials to spot, support & empower every dyslexic learner.

Level 2 training: Dyslexia Teaching deepens your understanding of dyslexia. The videos are full of specialist strategies and solutions, showing you WHAT to teach, WHY it helps and HOW to do it.

Level 3 Training: Dyslexia and Technology helps educators and parents learn about the challenges learners with dyslexia face and explore technology tools to support learners with dyslexia.

Level 4 Training: Empower Dyslexic Thinking in Schools provides insight into the seven archetypes of dyslexic thinking with practical tips, instructional guidance, and tools like AI to further harness strengths.

Dedicate a day to change lives! Follow in the footsteps of New York City, which trained all 100,000 of its teachers with this video-based training. Let’s gather many teachers all over Africa to take this training.

WHO ARE YOU TO THE CHILD ?

The Adult Reading History Questionnaire (ARHQ) is a screening tool designed to measure risk of reading disability (i.e. dyslexia) in adults (Lefly & Pennington, 2000), but it can also help measure risk in children, especially before school age. Reading disability is highly heritable: about 30-60% percent of children born to a dyslexic parent will develop dyslexia. Thus, one way to estimate risk of reading disability in preschool children is to evaluate parents’ own reading history. The following questionnaire was developed using parents’ reports of their own reading history as well as actual testing of their children’s reading skills. If a parent scores high on the ARHQ, their child has a higher risk of developing a reading disability. It is important to note that the ARHQ is only a screener and does not constitute a formal evaluation or diagnosis of either the parent or the child. If you have concerns about your child’s reading progress, we recommend that you contact your child’s school, a licensed child psychologist, or your child’s primary care physician about pursuing a more thorough evaluation to investigate the nature of these concerns.

The Colorado Learning Disabilities Questionnaire – Reading Subscale (CLDQ-R) is a screening tool designed to measure risk of reading disability (i.e. dyslexia) in school-age children (Willcutt, Boada, Riddle, Chhabildas, DeFries & Pennington, 2011). Normative scores for this questionnaire were developed based on parent-reports of their 6-18 year-old children, as well as actual reading testing of these children. Willcutt, et al. (2011) found that the CLDQ-R is reliable and valid. It is important to note that the CLDQ-R is only a screener and does not constitute a formal evaluation or diagnosis. If you have concerns about your child’s reading progress, we recommend that you contact your child’s school, a licensed child psychologist, or your child’s primary care physician about pursuing a more thorough evaluation to investigate the nature of these concerns.

WHAT'S YOUR GENDER?

The Adult Reading History Questionnaire (ARHQ) is a self-report screening tool designed to measure risk of reading disability (i.e. dyslexia) in adults (Lefly & Pennington, 2000). The ARHQ asks adults about their own reading history and current reading habits in order to estimate the risk that they may have a reading disability. Normative scores are based on actual testing, and Lefly & Pennington (2000) found that the ARHQ is reliable and valid. It is important to note that the ARHQ is only a screener and does not constitute a formal evaluation or diagnosis. If you have concerns about your reading skills, we recommend that you contact a licensed psychologist or your primary care physician about pursuing a more thorough evaluation to investigate the nature of these concerns.
