‘Revision - When It’s Hard to Revise’ by David Williams
Wiltshire Dyslexia Association have shared a recording of a brilliant presentation given by David Williams at their last AGM on the topic of revision. There’s lots of useful advice on how to revise and how to support your children through their exams.
Attendees said:
“What a super talk last night. David is full of empathy, as well as knowing his stuff. I would love the link to the recording so that I can watch again.”
“I just want to say that the talk by David Williams was excellent. I expected it to be useful for my granddaughters who are dyslexic, but I think I have to share it with all of my grandchildren who are in secondary school as it was so relevant for all of them.”
