Hi Erin We made these videos for Glyndwr University to be used as part of a distance-learning teacher training course. I'm glad they were interesting and useful to you. Sadly we have finished making videos for the time being. The video series featured Ioan, who was also diagnosed with dyslexia like you. He is one of the smartest kids we've ever met! He is very kind, extremely creative, and is really passionate about animals. I am sure that you're just as bright and you won't let anything get in your way. Don't be disheartened to have dyslexia. We think that people with dyslexia have incredibly creative minds and we wish you all the best for your future studies. Keep learning and developing your talents. You'll do great! All the best The CADARN team.

I just watched a KZfaq by Chris Blanc 'Effective Spelling for Dyslexics 2015'. It is good method and tool. She starts each mnemonic with the word it spells ie. "Because elephants can add up sums easily." or "White houses in the east." She has published a book of over 240 mnemonic chants with the harder common English words.

my understanding is that working memory improves with age but memory exercises don't work.

@@lizzielh I have dyslexia and have found working memory can improve with using certain techniques such as visualising things you are trying to remember.
