Our renowned App Wheel, "iPad Apps to Support Learners with Dyslexia and Reading/Writing Difficulties," has been updated to Version 3! You can now download the latest edition from the Posters and Leaflets section of our website.

Divided into 3 sections; Reading, Writing and Organisation, the wheel is intended to make it easier for you to narrow down the options from the thousands of apps available on the App Store.

The electronic version has 'clickable links' that will take you directly to the app in the App Store. 

Some of the categories include:

• Talking books
• Writing skills
• Word prediction
• Spelling
• Scanning
• Creating stories 
• Mind mapping and much more!

There are app suggestions for early learning, primary through to secondary and beyond.

iPad Apps to Support Numeracy 

We have also recently updated another app wheel, 'iPad Apps to Support Numeracy'. Divided into 15 categories with support for early learning and primary as well as secondary pupils, there are apps to support time, shape, fractions, manipulatives and more.

Online technology resources, modules and courses to support dyslexia 

If you are working within a school, then there may be restrictions on what apps can be installed (the dreaded DPIA restrictions!) but please also remember that some of the built-in Accessibility options on the iPad provide excellent support for learners with literacy difficulties.

Check out our short iPad support videos these built-in accessibility features, such as Speak Selection, Typing Feedback, Siri and many more.

Our free online module Using the iPad to support literacy and the Technology to Support Dyslexia Masterclass course offer excellent opportunities to do some self-paced professional learning to really get to know your iPad and learn about all the features that can help your dyslexic learners.

The modules and course render beautifully on all devices (laptops, iPads, iPhones, Androids, etc.), so you can work your way through the course at your leisure.

There are 'end-of-section quizzes' for you to try as well as an 'end-of-course activity' so you can put your new knowledge and skills into practice.
