Webinar 6 – The surprising visual causes of reading difficulty and how to solve them. – 3.30-4.30pm
This webinar covers one of the most common causes of reading difficulty that is rarely spoken about – it should be a real eye opener!

For each of these 1 hour webinars there is a cost of £50 per All Aboard school. The cost for schools not using All Aboard Phonics is £75. To sign up for any of the webinars please email schools@allaboardlearning.com with the name of your school and which webinars you wish to join.
