Looking for recommendations for a dyslexia tutor

Have you heard about Toe by Toe? https://www.toe-by-toe.co.uk/


It is a programme used in many schools to support dyslexic pupils. You do not have to be a teacher to do it because it is prescriptive, guiding you through what to do at each stage. It works with as little as 10 minutes a day.


I have not used it in school, but I know many other teachers who have and have found it successful in helping those struggling to recognise phonemes and use them confidently.


If will certainly work out much cheaper than a tutor! You might even find a class TA could do it with your child (if there is one). Little and often will work better than an hour a week with a tutor.

Another big thumbs up for Toe by Toe. We used it home, started with my dyslexic daughter around 7yo and it was a real turning point for her with reading. I wish there was a similar tool for writing. She?s 10 and still very challenged with writing and spelling.

I found my son's tutor through the PATOSS website, which has a database of accredited tutors. You have to register with an email (for free) to search in your area, but then you can contact tutors directly.

Our tutor is great but unfortunately she's not taking on new students at the moment. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
