Spld Service Malta

It's exam period. Time to understand why sometimes arrangements are needed. These are not helping, but they are supporting, students who need these measures to achieve their potential. They do not replace preparation though! Good luck everyone.

Planning the way forward. SpLD Service and SLT members from Gozo College Zebbug Primary plan ahead how to keep Dyslexia Friendly initiatives active for the coming scholastic year.

The SpLD Service is pleased to share that earlier this month Ms Pamela delivered a professional training session at Kalkara Primary School focusing on the work of the SpLD Service, key information about dyslexia, and the Dyslexia Friendly Schools Initiative (DFSI). 💡

Educators participated in an interactive online quiz 📱and a dyslexia simulation activity designed to deepen their understanding, increase awareness, and enhance classroom practices to better support learners with dyslexia and other specific learning difficulties.

The SpLD Service thanks the school leadership team and staff of Kalkara Primary School for their active engagement and commitment towards creating a more inclusive and dyslexia-friendly learning environment. 🎒

On Monday 4th May, a training session was held with LSEs at St. Theresa Middle School. The participants shared good practices they are implementing with the learners they are working with. Futhermore, LSEs amended handouts they were using to make them more dyslexia friendly. This included choosing appropriate font and font size, adding pictures and chunking text by adding text boxes.

It was a fruitful session where LSEs were given the opportunity to share their concerns and to strategies which have been successful.

🌟 Successful Training Session on Dyslexia Support! 🌟
Today, 30th April, our dedicated team—Ms Pamela, Ms Christine, Mr Maurizio, and Ms Karen—delivered an impactful training session for Heads of Department of Inclusion.
The session focused on:
◽Dyslexia as a learning difference, not a deficit
◽Practical ways to reduce learning barriers
◽Key strategies to share with educators
◽Insights into the DFSI framework

This is a fantastic step forward in fostering greater collaboration to build a truly inclusive culture in our schools! Together, we're empowering every learner to thrive. 💪📚
