Executive function and self-regulation (EF/SR) skills provide critical supports for learning and development, and while we aren't born with these skills, we are born with the potential to develop them through interactions and practice.

This 16-page guide (available for download, below), describes a variety of activities and games that represent age-appropriate ways for adults to support and strengthen various components of EF/SR in children.

Each chapter of this guide contains activities suitable for a different age group, from infants to teenagers. The guide may be read in its entirety (which includes the introduction and references) or in discrete sections geared to specific age groups.

Take A Day For Dyslexia

Our new 'Learn Dyslexia' campaign asks every teacher to Take A Day for Dyslexia and skill up using our FREE online training, in partnership with Microsoft.

One single day is all it takes to complete all 3 training levels below. But it's enough to change a child's life. And for you to change the world.

Level 1: Dyslexia Awareness

This is a course that every teacher and parent should take. It helps you to Connect the Spots and understand how dyslexic people think and gives you easy-to-implement tools and strategies to support them.

Level 2: Dyslexia Teaching

Our second course takes a deeper dive into how to spot dyslexia, what methodologies work and shows you how to implement them in your classroom.

Level 3: Dyslexia & Technology

This third course helps educators everywhere understand how simple free technology can transform the outcomes for dyslexic students.

What are teachers saying?

Teachers all around the globe are skilling up with our easy, free, training.

"Outstanding! Ticks all the boxes - keeps your attention, factually strong, easy to digest and incredibly effective."

"Phenomenal - an incredible insight into dyslexia. It is definitely something every teacher should know."

"It is the best way to teach. Every child feels valued and they know there is no limit to what they can do."

Making change happen

Dyslexic children will only succeed if we can reshape how we teach them today. Help us to train every teacher in the next five years to SPOT, SUPPORT and EMPOWER every dyslexic learner by sharing:

A practical toolkit for supporting students with handwriting difficulties at key stage 3 and key stage 4. Dysgraphia toolkit is intended to help young people develop the fine motor skills they may be lacking and offers a full dysgraphia intervention programme targeting specific areas of need.
What's included?
This 71-page toolkit includes:

information about neurodiversity and the strengths and weaknesses of neurodivergent people

information about dysgraphia and the difficulties in obtaining a dysgraphia diagnosis

a CPD PowerPoint for staff training, parents' evenings and senior leadership meetings

handwriting assessment tools for you to monitor and record students' specific difficulties

display resources on writing posture and pen grip

general classroom strategies, including whole-class warm-ups

activity ideas and games for practising visual motor skills and fine motor skills

letter tracing worksheets and cursive writing patterns worksheets

How does it support dysgraphic students?
Dysgraphia toolkit offers time-effective and straightforward ways of diagnosing and supporting dysgraphia in teens. It suggests warm-ups and motor skill activities that are helpful not just for teaching students with dysgraphia but for teaching all young people, and it presents simple ways of supporting dysgraphia in the classroom, without the need for special equipment - although examples of assistive technology are suggested where appropriate.

The intervention programme that it proposes does not need to be followed systematically and can be dipped into by subject teachers and teaching assistants in the mainstream classroom.
About the writer
The toolkit presents arguments for and against print and joined/cursive writing and recommends that at secondary school students should not be required to adopt one or the other as long as their handwriting is legible and pain-free. It outlines the additional challenges faced by left-handed students and suggests specific support strategies.

Finally, it includes editable handwriting worksheets that can be adapted for any age group and printable handwriting practice sheets for older students.
What's inside?
Dysgraphia toolkit was written by Abigail Hawkins, who runs SENDCO Solutions, an SEN consultancy, and SENsible SENCO CIC, a not-for-profit networking support group. She has been a SENCO for over 25 years and has taught a multitude of subjects across all phases, from two-year-olds to adults. Abigail works with software companies developing supportive software for SEN and safeguarding purposes, has developed and delivers a teaching assistant apprenticeship programme. She has authored several books on SEN and exclusions, and runs a support network for over 10,000 SENCOs.

Abigail has a no-nonsense, practical approach to SEN issues faced by schools, believing that many high-incidence needs can be met in the classroom with basic teaching tweaks.
