THE PROJECT

We will create more than 2.000 exercises with explanations for the age groups between 6 and 12, and with different difficulty level among age range. The content will be relevant for the academic primary school program.

OBJECTIVES

This project is dedicated to the Specific Learning Disorders(SLD) known as “Dys”, dyslexia, dysphasia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia.

There is no fully reliable estimation of the number of “Dys” in Europe but together these SLD are believed to affect around 10% of people. All countries have numerous dys pupils and no country is currently well equipped to support them.

These disorders can be detected from the age of 6 when the process of acquiring the basic skills in term of reading, writing and mathematics are starting effectively in school and it is very important to detect and support learners early in order avoid the accumulation of delays and the loss of engagement which might lead to further underachievement and early school leaving.

PARTNERSHIP

The project will involve partners who represent different groups in education and have different perspectives on the support to the “dys”. This diversity in the partnership will help us to be able to “get out of our box” and expand our skills, experiences and knowledge.
