Certificate in Dyslexia and Literacy Teaching

This course aims to introduce students to dyslexia and language acquisition deficiencies. In Singapore, the prevalence of dyslexia amongst the population is estimated to be 10% of which 4% will have dyslexia severe enough to warrant intervention. Hence, this course is designed to give both professionals and family members a valuable overview of the common learning difference called dyslexia and how to support students with dyslexia through conceptual teaching, planning, and lesson delivery. It also provides practical knowledge of supporting these students through explicit and simultaneously multisensory instruction.
