Why Chose WordWise Dyslexia Services:
Wordwise Dyslexia Services combines specialist assessment expertise with structured, evidence-informed literacy support. As an APC-accredited assessor and qualified specialist teacher, I bring both diagnostic precision and practical classroom insight. Assessments are conducted in line with 2025 SASC guidance and JCQ AARA regulations, ensuring that reports and access arrangements evidence are robust, defensible and inspection-ready. What sets Wordwise apart is the integration of assessment and action. Every recommendation is: • Clear and practical • Immediately implementable • Individualised to the learner • Grounded in current research • Suitable for both home and school environments For schools, this means reliable assessment evidence, clear intervention direction, and support that aligns with mainstream inclusion priorities. For families, this means clarity, understanding, and a structured pathway forward. Teaching and tuition are rooted in structured, cumulative literacy approaches incorporating phonological development, morphology, orthographic mapping and reading fluency. Sessions are purposeful, carefully planned and responsive to assessment findings. Above all, learners are supported in a calm, professional and encouraging environment where their strengths are recognised and their barriers to learning are addressed with expertise and care.
