Parents


We need your comments and your help. The Rose Expert Advisory Group, led by Sir Jim Rose will be reporting to the government in 2009. He needs to hear what has helped your child. If your child has received support for dyslexia or SpLD, please send your comments on what helped your child to make good progress, and what appears to have worked less well. It might be the specialist teaching, the individual support, the particular methods used by the teacher, the progress secured by being able to tackle the learning in small steps, the encouragement, or of course a number of other things. This is your chance to really make a difference.

Please send your responses to dyslexia.jimrose@dcsf.gsi.gov.uk by 10 October 2008 and send Patoss a copy patoss@evesham.ac.uk so we can help further this campaign.
