Buy Beat Dyslexia at a Discount
Direct From the Authors
We’re pleased to announce that we’ve now added our step-by-step multi-sensory literacy programme, Beat Dyslexia to our online shop, and because you’re buying direct from us, the authors, we can offer each of the 6 books at a flat price of £25 plus postage and packaging. The books are also available from outlets such as Amazon and from publisher LDA, however, the prices can vary widely and they’re not always available.
Each of the books has recently been updated (after first being published in 1998!) and Book 6 was added to the series last year.
The success of Beat Dyslexia inspired us to create the numeracy equivalent, Beat Dyscalculia.
For further information about any of the books, please contact us.
Synopsis
This new, revised edition retains all the strengths of the well-established “Beat Dyslexia” series to support those students struggling to read, write or spell. The comprehensive programme develops literacy skills by combining successful phonological approaches with the very best of conventional, multi-sensory and structured teaching methods. The series takes pupils from the earliest stages of letter recognition through to full literacy. Using a wide range of imaginative approaches, the activities are carefully structured so that all the goals are small and attainable. Pupils gain confidence through consolidation and success as they develop their reading skills and build a sound understanding of basic spelling and grammar. The wide variety of phonic activities are based on multi-sensory techniques that assist the teacher in maintaining pupils’ interest and enthusiasm – making them ideal for those with short concentration spans. Although primarily designed for dyslexic pupils of all ages, in one-to-one or small group sessions, the careful use of visual and aural approaches, in a clearly structured progression, make them suitable for any pupil struggling to acquire literacy skills.

Beat Dyscalculia Video Training Available Now
Once you’ve bought your Beat Dyscalculia packs we want you to be able to get the most from them, and so we’ve created a video training course that goes through all the essential elements (such as the Addacus and Number Strips) and looks at how to use the resources to teach certain key topics (such as time and times tables). The course is designed so that you can work your way through it, from start to finish, in your own time, or you can dip in and out to refresh your memory. Ideally, we’d recommend that you use the videos to supplement the face to face classroom training that we offer (with our founder and creator, Celia Stone), and as an additional training tool for you and your colleagues. Find out more about our training packages here.
Beat Dyscalculia Accredited Trainers
However, we’re also starting to create a network of Beat Dyscalculia accredited trainers and would like to hear from you if you are interested in finding out more.
The Videos
Each of the 12 videos was filmed with local teachers who volunteered to be trained by Celia, and were learning about Beat Dyscalculia for the first time. Each one is between about 5 and 15 minutes long and is designed for you to watch and work through the exercises shown for yourself. Key topics and teaching points are highlighted with pop-up captions, and each video is split into sections covering each pack (1, 2 and 3), so that you can find the bits that are relevant to you.
Members’ Area
The videos are available via a new secure Members’ Section of our website for a yearly subscription of £180. This can be bought via our shop. However, you can watch the first video for free here, which gives you an introduction to and overview of the Beat Dyscalculia programme. Once you’ve subscribed, you can access this section whenever you want, as often as you want. Plus we’ll use this section to give you access to other resources such as electronic versions of the CDs and books, training hand-outs, and additional ideas and resources as we create them. Let us know if there’s anything you’d particularly like to see in this section.
