Summer is a time for rest, fun, and new experiences.
It is also a wonderful opportunity to build confidence, nurture interests, and create meaningful moments that support learning naturally.
For children with dyslexia, these experiences can help strengthen language, reading, writing, and self-confidence in ways that feel enjoyable rather than overwhelming.
Join us for a relaxed, supportive virtual workshop where we’ll explore simple ways to encourage reading, writing, language, and independence without turning summer into school.
