 Our very lovely friends at Tamworth Library are working hard to ensure that they have dyslexia friendly books and resources available.
We popped along not so long ago to see how they are getting along and saw this stand. It contains books with dyslexia friendly print and audio (CD) included. So, why not nip down and have a browse. Dig-iT is working with the library to see what else they can offer, so if there's something you think they should be doing, we're sure they'd like to hear from you.  Special Needs Jungle is a really great website run by Tania Tirraoro who is a parent who has been through the "jungle of the statementing system" and so wants to share that knowledge with others.
The website is well worth a visit - see here.  Here's some great videos showing top tips on supporting your child with reading, handwriting, spelling, organisation and memory.
See here.  We've been contacted by Liz Dunoon (pictured) who asked if she could put our contact details on her website - Helping Children With Dyslexia - as parents all around Australia are searching for dyslexia support groups! Unfortunately Liz had the wrong Tamworth (we're in England!), but her organisation and website are great!
We recommend becoming a member (free) to access all sort of useful information and resources! Brilliant work Liz! Here's a really good video of how to use speech recognition software by a 16 year old student, Rhodri Buttrick. Nice one Rhodri! In the clip he uses Dragon Naturallyspeaking and TextHelp. Have a look, We've come across a website called Dyslexia International and they have some free online tools (some in french!! - well it is 'international'), but some useful downloads are there. Have a look here.
