Understanding dyslexia
What dyslexia is and is not, the signs worth noticing, the myths that get in the way, and what reading actually feels like for a child who finds it hard.
Workshops & speaking
Helping the adults around a child understand what is going on.
A child spends far more hours with their family and classroom teacher than with any intervention centre. So Kevin works with parents, teachers and schools directly — in plain language, built around real examples.
In person or online · delivered mainly in English
Who it is for
Three kinds of audience, each with different questions.
Parents
Parent groups, school parent associations and support groups who want to understand what their children are going through, and what helps at home.
Teachers
Teachers and teaching assistants who want practical ways to reach the child in the class who is struggling — without extra hours they do not have.
Schools & organisations
Schools, centres and organisations looking for a session built around their own staff, families and questions.
Topics
What Kevin speaks about.
Every topic here is one Kevin already teaches publicly, so you can watch how he explains it before you get in touch.
Why children mix up letters
Letter reversals like b and d, how sound–symbol learning develops, and how adults can help a child practise without calling them careless.
