SESSION SUMMARY
This workshop discusses reasons behind the struggle of learning to read and overview of areas needed to help to reinforce it.

Engage with us in an interactive workshop, designed to explore, and apply effective methods for teaching accurate letter formation. Discover the pivotal role of precise letter sound production in enhancing reading skills. Gain insights into a visual perception disorder called Irlen Syndrome, which impacts a significant 46 percent of reading-challenged individuals and 12 percent to 14 percent of the general population.
