Nessy Parent Series – Beat the Summer Slide: Without Turning Your Home Into a Classroom

Summer is a time for rest, fun, and new experiences. It is also a wonderful opportunity to build confidence, nurture interests, and create meaningful moments that support learning naturally. For children with dyslexia, these experiences can help strengthen language, reading, writing, and self-confidence in ways that feel enjoyable rather than overwhelming.

Join us for a relaxed, supportive virtual workshop where we'll explore simple ways to encourage reading, writing, language, and independence without turning summer into school.

What You'll Learn

• Understand what children with dyslexia need: Explore practical ways to support literacy development while protecting confidence, motivation, and self-esteem.
• Follow their interests: Discover how hobbies, family activities, books, games, and everyday experiences can help children continue developing important literacy skills.
• Practical ideas for every age: Explore fun, low-pressure activities for young children, primary-aged learners, and teenagers that support reading, writing, communication, and confidence.
• Support writing and handwriting naturally: Learn how everyday play, conversation, drawing, and meaningful writing opportunities help children develop as writers.
• Build confidence and independence: Find ways to help your child understand how they learn, recognise their strengths, and return to school feeling capable and successful.
• Make the most of summer learning opportunities: Discover simple tools and resources, including game-based options like Nessy, that can support literacy development while still allowing summer to feel like a holiday.

Help your child enjoy a summer filled with curiosity, confidence, and opportunities to grow while building the skills they need to thrive.
