Dyslexia support
For students with dyslexia, learning to read and write can seem like the largest hurdle. But these hurdles are conquerable! With the proper instruction, any student can learn these necessary skills - it is just a matter of learning each step in your time and in your way. Which is why we are here!
One Bite Learning uses a systematic learning sequence that is aligned with MSL teaching and specifically designed to cater to individual learning differences. This is unanimously recommended as the most effective type of intervention for students with dyslexia as well as other learning difficulties (see below for more information about this approach). We use a structured, systematic literacy progression that is based on MSL principles to find the skills that each student needs to learn. We then use best practice methodology to directly instruct students in each small step until they have conquered it. We don't follow a set program, so there is no timeframe for any student to follow. We teach only what you need, and we teach it in your time. Our aim is for you to be able to progress as quickly as you can but as slowly as you need to.
What is MSL teaching?
Our dyslexia tutor is trained in MSL (Multi-Sensory Learning) and all of our tutors follow an MSL-based learning sequence. MSL teaching is widely recognised as the most effective intervention available for dyslexic students, as well as for students who struggle with literacy for a variety of other reasons. MSL teaching covers all areas of language learning and focusses on explicitly and directly teaching each building block of language to the student, rather than expecting them to 'pick it up' or learn it by 'feel'. Effective dyslexia instruction is also mastery-based (learn each step solidly before moving on) and highly individualised - catering to each student's particular needs and learning styles.
