Dyslexia Awareness Week

During Dyslexia Awareness Week, Library Services we have been amplifying student voices by:

• Getting you to share their favourite tools to help with reading – and sharing ours too.
• Getting access to new titles in alternative formats in response to student requests
• Introducing RNIB Bookshare to some of our neurodiverse community
• Planning a revamped Study Skills Live workshop focusing on organisational skills, in response to requests received from students and staff.

But it doesn’t stop when Dyslexia Awareness Week is over. We’re inviting our staff and students with dyslexia to:

• Share your favourite apps and tools to help with reading in our Tools for Tackling text workshops
• Sign up for a Bookshare account and access books in a format that works for you; or join us for an online introduction to Bookshare
• Visit Doctor Referencing to get your Harvard referencing niggles sorted; or bring your questions to a referencing Q&A
• Email us to request a relaxed tour of The Hive; or view our Sensory guide to The Hive.
