To celebrate Dyslexia month in 2024 we brought you an exclusive short film made by Todd Griffin and Jacob Priddle (with support from The Dyslexia Association) to contribute to the theme of the awareness week of ‘whats your story’.
The Nikon Film Festival
The Nikon film festival is a competition, and this year a fantastic short film about a young dyslexic girl (in France) has been entered. The film aims to support all children, past and present, who struggle to find their place in a standardised education system.
Please take a look, it is very thought provoking, and if you have nee touched by Sumaya’s story you might want to vote because the more votes a film recieves the closer it will be to being selected by the jury.
Here is the synopsis
Sumaya dreams of proving that she is much more than her dyslexia. Often mocked by her classmates and underestimated by her teachers, her life is turned upside down when her French teacher, Katie, enters her in a fluency competition, organised by the school to encourage children reading out loud. The film breaks down prejudices and explores dyslexia not as a disability, but as a strength, an energy that can inspire. It’s a story full of hope for children who have to over-adapt every day of their lives.

Have a look at this new book to transform bedtime reading for dyslexic storytellers
Silent Snow is a new book that gives dyslexic parents and storytellers the opportunity to create their stories and turn bedtime reading into a joyful experience.
The book, which is published by Marcia M Publishing, is full of wonderfully detailed and enchanting illustrations from top to bottom guiding allowing neurodivergent storytellers to personalise each story and embark on an adventure with every turn of the page.
Silent Snow’s uniqueness lies in the fact that there are no words on its story pages, unlike like most children’s books, which provides a springboard for imagination.
The brainchild of author Kirsty Heap, a dyslexic storyteller, Silent Snow was borne out of the challenges she faced reading stories to her own children when young. Fuelled by this personal struggle and powered by her imagination Kirsty drew on her dyslexic strengths to find a creative solution when it came to bedroom reading.
On a mission to make bedtime magical for everyone, Kirsty invites readers to join the adventure and let their imaginations run wild, spark their and their little reader’s creativity, and embrace the magic of bedtime tales that knows no boundaries.
Kirsty said: “As I gazed at the cover when I first got the book, memories flooded back to the countless nights spent crafting stories for my children when they were young.
“This book has been born from those special moments, from the magic of imagination that I cherished sharing with them. The illustrations are exactly how I envisioned them and I have pictured storytellers sharing these tales with their little ones, and young children’s eyes lighting up with excitement.”
With Christmas nearing, with Silent Snow due for publication on 1 December, it is destined to be a great stocking filler! Use this link to get your copy https://amzn.eu/d/fB66jpw (Price: £7.99)
Why not create your own snowy adventure and see where your story will take you?
Denise Murdoch from London Metropolitan University is conducting a new research study………………..
I am studying for a postgraduate degree in education at London Metropolitan University.
I am currently conducting a research project and would like to invite you to volunteer. This study aims to explore the lived experiences of dyslexic adults in Black and Brown communities (B&BC). The research intention is to address the existing academic gap in knowledge. I intend to reflect on strategies and experiences of the workplace, increasing my understanding of living with multiple identities: dyslexia and being from a B&BC.
-
Research question:
How do adults with dyslexia from Black and Brown Communities navigate the workplace to achieve success?
-
Aim:
Explore the perceptions and lived experiences of adults with dyslexia from Black and Brown Communities (B&BC) in the workplace, focusing on strategies utilised for their success.
The study has two phases.
- Participants will be able to contribute to both phases, but for phase 2 of the study, you will be invited to opt into the visual journaling.
Phase 1: Face-to-face interviews
- Individuals will take part in a 45-minute semi-structured interview. A 5- 10-minute comfort and movement break will be suggested during the interviews.
- The interviews will be conducted at a convenient time and location or can be remote.
- Participants will be either diagnosed, un-diagnosed or self-diagnosed with dyslexia.
Phase 2: Visual journaling
A workshop will be accompanied by guidance if required.
- Participants will be invited to create a visual journal following a discussion.
- Visual journaling will be completed over two weeks, including thoughts, feelings, reflections, and experiences of your dyslexia, work experiences, participating in this research and how you have succeeded.
- Visual journals – collage or storyboard.
- It is hoped that you will discuss your employment experiences as someone from a Black and Brown background.
All participants will be informed of their right to withdraw from the research during the data collection phase without giving a reason.
However, once the data has been analysed, it cannot be removed from the analysis but will be removed from the database and will not be used for further analysis.
Pseudonyms will be used for each volunteer to protect your identity.
You can contact me at Denise Murdoch: DEM0559@my.londonmet.ac.uk
Please keep the invitation as a reference.
If you have any questions or concerns about the study, don’t hesitate to get in touch with the supervisors at London Met:

New RD2 Research Student Progress Review Accessible March 2024 (9)
Do you like to knit, but need dyslexia friendly knitting patterns? Alice Furness has been in touch to let us know that she has solved your problems….
I publish all my patterns on dyslexic friendly backgrounds as I, myself, am dyslexic. I like to include this to make knitting more inclusive because I believe that knitting and knitwear is for everyone! That’s also one of the reasons you’ll see so many different models in my photos.
I started knitting in 2018 during the summer holidays when I was a primary school teacher, but I got really obsessed after I was in a car crash and lost my job due to injuries. Knitting saved my brain and I hope it can help others too. Because I now have SUNCT and cognitive difficulties, I try to channel that into my patterns; knitting for people like me and people who have other difficulties. I’ll think about which seam will work well for those with sensory needs, I’ll think about what pattern will be best to keep the wind off my face and ears, and I’ll think about what kind of gloves will help me tell left from right. My knitting patterns are my own little corner of the world that help in my fight for inclusivity and how to stay well. I hope they help you to do this too, or that you just enjoy how they look!
As an ex-teacher, I understand how dyslexic and many neurodivergent people learn, which makes it easier for me to teach them during my knitting classes. I try to make these classes as accessible and easy going as I can. If you want to learn to knit with me come and find me in Leek, Staffordshire where we are lucky enough to have 2 wonderful shops full of yarn and chock full of knowledge.

Sarah Mitchell has been in touch with a solution for the frustration of finding the right resources
As a specialist literacy teacher, I’m sure I’m not alone in feeling frustrated and overwhelmed by the lack of resources available especially for older students. I know I certainly felt that way when I completed my Level 5 certificate. Where were the resources that made it easy to explicitly teach phonics, morphology, grammar, and writing skills? The ones I found were often lengthy, outdated, and left too much of the planning to the reader.
I recall feeling like I was stuck in a rut, searching for resources that would provide the structure and guidance I needed to support my students’ learning. But what I found was either too vague or too rigid, leaving me with more questions than answers.
As I began to create my own resources, I knew that I had to make them different. I wanted to create something that would be easy to use, evidence-based, and accessible to all specialist teachers. Something that would provide the clarity and guidance we needed to teach literacy with confidence.
After years of working with students with Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD), I knew that what they needed was a systematic and sequential approach to learning. An approach that would identify and address their gaps in knowledge, rather than trying to follow a rigid program from start to finish.
**The Teaching Structured Literacy Series**
The result is the Teaching Structured Literacy Series, a set of four books designed to support specialist teachers like you. Each book is carefully crafted to provide clear structure, guidance, and activities that can be tailored to your students’ specific needs.
|
The first book, “The Ultimate Scope and Sequence for Teaching Structured Literacy,” provides a comprehensive framework for teaching literacy, including phonics, morphology, etymology and accurate spelling rules.
**Feedback from Claire Harvey, Head of Education at the Helen Arkell Dyslexia Centre: “A cumulative, sequential, step-by-step approach to teaching literacy underpins all specialist tuition. Checklists to track progress, and word examples for each task. I wish I had this book when I was training!” |
|
The second book, “How to Teach Every Spelling Pattern Ever,” delves into the why behind spelling patterns and words, providing explanations.
Claire says: “Includes not only the WHAT to teach but also the HOW to teach spelling, including explanations for WHY words are spelt as they are. Drawing on morphology, etymology, and phonology, this book delivers a story behind even some of the trickiest letter patterns and words to teach, making them ultimately more accessible, meaningful, and memorable for both the specialist teacher and the learner. This is a super resource for any specialist teacher to have in their toolbox!” |
|
The third book, “Assessing Reading and Spelling: For Teaching Structured Literacy,” offers checklists and assessments to help identify specific areas of difficulty and track progress.
Claire says: “Supports specialist teachers to assess, plan and then deliver personalised literacy targets based on their learner’s specific areas of weakness and gaps.” |
|
And finally, “Transform Your Literacy Intervention” provides practical advice on how to structure lessons with SpLD learners, along with valuable resources and reinforcement activities.
Claire says: “For any specialist teacher looking for support on how to structure their lessons with SpLD learners, this book delivers. It includes a lesson template alongside valuable advice on how to deliver lessons to ensure targets and teaching goals are achieved. There are some super examples of teaching resources and plenty of reinforcement activities and games to ensure learners can practice and embed new skills. Thank you, Sarah, for another super book in your range.” |
**What You’ve Been Waiting For**
I’ve been thrilled to hear from hundreds of specialist teachers who have used my resources and have seen real improvements in their students’ learning. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with many teachers praising the clarity and simplicity of the resources.
As someone who has been in your shoes, I understand the frustration and uncertainty that comes with trying to find the right resources. But I’m confident that my series can help you overcome these challenges and provide the support you need to teach literacy with confidence.
So why not take a look at the Teaching Structured Literacy Series today? With these resources at your fingertips, you’ll be well on your way to transforming your literacy teaching practice and making a real difference in the lives of your students.
Available at the Helen Arkell Dyslexia Centre online bookshop. A portion of the sale goes to the charity.

Alice Sarah Lane is developing a website and needs your help
I am a final-year student at Saint-Maurice College in Switzerland, my family is English and I am dyslexic. As part of my graduation project, I have developed a website offering a dynamic test for dyslexia, designed to be language-independent.
It was only at the age of fifteen that I was diagnosed with dyslexia, as my bilingualism (English-French) led my teachers to attribute my reading and writing difficulties to this and did not consider dyslexia. Thus, I wanted to help others in the same situation by developing this test, based on the work of Elbro C., Daugaard H. T., and Gellert A. S. (2012) “Dyslexia in a second language?—a dynamic test of reading acquisition may provide a fair answer”, Annals of Dyslexia 62:172–185.
To evaluate the effectiveness of this test, I need as many people as possible to complete it, whether they are dyslexic or not, monolingual or multilingual, and of all ages.
For optimal results, it is recommended to take the test in a quiet place with minimal background noise and a good internet connection. The test will take only ten minutes. Chrome, Edge or Safari are the recommended browsers to use. The web address and password required to access the test are given below. You need to have the microphone permissions enabled and allow access when requested. Thank you in advance for your help.

Disability ? / ability?
Dis / Dys it’s a prefix which denotes lack
Life is full of coincidences and probability and hidden patterns
A 5 and an S look similar if badly transcribed. The source of the error can hard to see is it the transcription or something inside me.
A constant struggle to hide in a world of ableism
The able do not see the ism , cause there preconceived idea is that everyone is like them.
QED
ableism is hidden just as my disability is hidden it does nt show on the surface
I am not neurotypical nor are the people I work with our expressions are different
like those born into a foreign culture we see the world differently
This happened in the womb during our formation at a genetic level our brains processed differently
faster in some regards slower in others
Just different not better or worse
the pathways create new Neuro connections
give us new and different expression
I am on this spectrum of existence grouped with us neurodiverse bunch of whom I am proud to be associated with some of us are non verbal
But what I have learned from my none verb kin is expression does nt have to be limited to language it expressed emotionally , creativity in many tender and human ways
It’s exciting to look at the world though new eyes
Art and the art of living can nt be contained by such limited definitions as able / disable cause where others see lack I see humanity reaching exploring finding new ways of being
In community
In nature
With use of technology
All in creative and diverse ways
Expressing are total selves in totally unique ways
Finding away in a maze not of our making
Making a life
Expressing our spirit
With our wired different brains
I hated my label at school
Labelled thick
But now I embrace it
Viva la difference
Because those who think differently
Add new ways of seeing to the wonderful world in which we live

And, a short story:
Kid.
That you Jack ?
It took me six weeks to gain my sea legs now I was finding it an usual sensation to be back on dry land.
The docks in Liverpool were dull grey and feature less in fact no less feature less than the arctic circle in the middle of winter. I had never known cold like we experienced on those winter coveys.
I held a cigarette to my lips to fight off the cold of a bitter wind at the quayside. The dock was a hive of activity we were loading up for the next voyage but it was long slow work and at present there was no real sense of urgency.
Another ship was docked much further down the side of the quay. They were offloading prisoners off war in handcuffs.
Albert who I was working with started shouting at one of them “ well bugger me , Jack , Jack is that you ?” The prisoner looked over at Albert and smiled a smile of pure joy. “Albert” he responded.
“What the hell are you doing in a Jerry uniform”. The guards did nt seem to mind the two of them chatting. “Well it’s a funny story really I was visiting my uncle in the Black Forest, when the next thing you know war had been declared and they have conscription over their well I could nt very well say no or they d have had me shot , so the next thing you know I am in the German navy”.
I did nt let on I was English or they d have hung me as a spy but all those summers in the black Forrest helping on the farm with Uncle Ernst meant I was a fluent in German , anyway it’s been a nightmare and the ship getting torpedoed was really a blessing in disguise, can you do me a big favour and let the wife know I am still alive may be just keep quiet about the been in German navy part.
Thanks R Wheeldon
Hi there!
My name is Natalie Collins and I am a final year Economics student at the University of Leeds. I am currently completing research for my final year dissertation and I need your help to tackle the misconceptions associated with dyslexia in the workplace. If you’re interested, please take a few minutes to complete the survey today.
Why is this important?
My survey aims to assess the level of understanding that both dyslexic and non-dyslexic employees have regarding the skills strongly associated with dyslexic thinking. The results will highlight the workforce’s current perceptions of dyslexic cognition, which will aid us in suggesting effective interventions and guiding further research. By truly understanding the accurate skills associated with different cognitive variations, we can empower dyslexic employees to thrive in the workplace and enhance the efficiency of our labour force.
Make a difference – your voice matters:
There is no judgment here! Please answer honestly so we can gauge an accurate level of understanding. Every response counts and helps us move closer to a more inclusive and supportive work environment for everyone.
The survey only takes 3 minutes, and your insights could lead to meaningful change.
Your participation is greatly appreciated!
See my poster for further details

Alex has written a book about a detective cat who gets their letters mixed up, see below for more information….
Hello
I have written a children’s book (ages 8 – 12) about a cat who is a detective. In order for him to communicate with the pet’s owner he fashions a note from scratching out letters from magazines only he gets the letters b, d, p and q mixed up.
