You will need to download the Open Dyslexia font for the older resources, newer (post 2022 resources) are all on a yellow background and with a comic sans font (as advised by the BDA). I am Head of Faculty at a high performing secondary school set in a challenging location, Specialist in Computer Science and Business. P8 scores in the first year using these resources jumped by over 1 whole grade (from -1.17 to +0.51). All revisions lessons have multiple past paper style exam questions.

The sheets are designed to be printed on one single sheet of A4 paper (2 sides), making them easy to organise and mark. The feedback method allows you to provide brilliant and effective feedback to students easily. A class set of 30 takes around 20 minutes to complete. These can be added together to create a larger assessment.
