Beat Dyscalculia Training Videos Coming Soon!
We’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who volunteered their services (including Vicky McKinnell and Farnley Tyas First School, Allison Deighton and Bowling Green Primary School, Cassandra Rei from Laidlaw Hall, Amita Shah, and Sheila Capewell) and helped to make the filming of our training videos a big success last week. In particular, we’d like to thank Jo Liversidge and Betty Stathers from Nature’s Footprints Forest Play and Education CIC, and Helen Collier, Specialist Speech and Language teacher, who feature in the videos with Celia.
Altogether we filmed 12 short videos, covering all the essential elements of the Beat Dyscalculia kits (including stringalongs, the Addacus, rainbow numbers etc.) and how to use them, plus how to use the resources to teach key topics such as time, times tables, fractions and decimals, and money.
The videos are designed to work together as a course to supplement the classroom-based training courses that we offer, or as a refresher for schools who’ve had some training or who need to train up additional members of staff.
The videos will be available along with other downloadable resources via our website shortly.
Please contact us if you’d like to know more or alternatively, you can find out about our classroom-based training and packages of resources and training.

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.
