I recently completed a very interesting course, organized by Coursera : Supporting children with difficulties in reading and writing, https://www.coursera.org/learn/dyslexia-difficulties

This course is for teachers to learn why some children have so much difficulty with reading and writing, often called ‘dyslexia’, and to learn more about best practice in teaching literacy to all in light of recent scientific discoveries.

An excellent course for beginners and specialists alike.The information preseted in  this course is up to date, practical and very informative.  The course is challenging but it is worth it as we can learn a lot!

I highly recommend it for anyone interested in specialist work or supporting students.
