Schools, colleges and educational establishments

  • Spelling, reading and numeracy levels challenge the UK
  • 1 in 5 people have literacy difficulties
  • 1 in 10 are diagnosed with dyslexia
  • Growing numbers of pupils are also being labelled with Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, ADD, ADHD or have Autism, Aspergers, OCD, Tourettes and Downs Syndrome.

 
Since our foundation we have actively focused on helping those with dyslexia, literacy and numeracy challenges to overcome these and get on with enjoying their lives; regardless of age, language or background.

This program has 3 driving principles:
1. To improve and overcome literacy and numeracy, attention and behaviour challenges.
2. To support teachers and parents, as well as their children.
3. To support schools for the heart of their communities

                                           ... and to demonstrate success.

  • Andrew Bendefy, founder & author, personally delivers the programs in conjunction with schools, colleges, community groups, dyslexia associations and special needs schools.
  • His methodology is successfully used by 100s of teachers, SENCOs, teaching assistants, parents and health professionals.
The core skills are simple to learn and integrate seamlessly with classroom activities and the national curriculum. Flexibility and choice are key words, enabling schools to deploy these as they see best across the wide spectrum of capabilities of students and communities.

"After one week, all but six children achieved full marks in their spelling test.  The remaining six children scored 8 or 9 out of ten.  Four children had never before achieved full marks in a spelling test in their whole school career.  This was a truly remarkable change."

"Then in the second week, ALL children achieved 100% in their spelling test."

"The positive attitude emanating from this classroom is palpable! "

"The impact of your methods speaks for itself and your knowledge and professionalism are truly inspiring to pupils and parents."

"Introducing your learning methods has led to the most rapid improvement in attitude (and spelling accuracy!) that I have ever seen."
