Dyslexia - Early Identification Pack

There is a child in your school right now who has been puzzling you.

Not your most challenging behaviour. Not your lowest attainer. The one where something does not quite add up. The one who is articulate and bright in conversation but whose reading and writing do not reflect that. The one you have been giving time, waiting to see if they catch up.

They will not catch up. Not without someone noticing first.

This bundle gives your school everything it needs to become a place where that child gets noticed sooner, understood better, and supported earlier. Not eventually. From next week.

What is in the bundle:

The INSET Training Pack

A complete, research-informed half-day session covering five sections: why early identification changes everything; what the dyslexic brain looks like before formal reading begins; a stage-by-stage observation framework from Reception through to Year 6; what schools can and should do before a formal diagnosis; and the Observation File in practice. Fully structured with timing guidance, key concept boxes, participant activities, case study profiles, and reflection prompts throughout.

The Trainer Annotated Notes

Fifteen slides of script, slide by slide. What to say, what to watch for in the room, how to handle the moments that need care, activity instructions with timing and debrief guidance, facilitator tips for managing different group dynamics. Written in your voice so it feels human, not scripted.

The 15-Slide Presentation

A fully designed, branded slide deck ready to open and present. Covers the Matthew Effect, pre-reading indicators by age group, the stage-by-stage observation framework, the graduated approach, the parent conversation framework, and the Observation File. Built in your Diamond Education Hub brand palette, professionally designed, nothing to adapt.

The Practical Strategies Booklet

Three standalone sections, one for each audience. For teachers: year group checklists from EYFS to Year 6, early warning signs by subject area, ten strategies available from Monday morning with no budget needed. For SENCOs and dyslexia specialists: screening tools and what they tell you, the Observation File framework, the referral case builder, conversation frameworks for staff and parents. For parents: what early dyslexia looks like at home by age range, how to start the conversation with school, questions to ask at a meeting, how to support at home without creating pressure, and what a diagnosis means and does not mean.

This bundle is for you if:

You are a school leader, SENCO, or CPD lead who wants to deliver dyslexia training that actually changes how your staff see and respond to struggling learners. You are a teacher who suspects there are children in your school being missed and wants to do something about it. You want a complete, professional CPD system you can deliver repeatedly, without starting from scratch or bringing someone in every time.

This bundle is not:

A generic SEND resource. A list of tips. A passive read. This is a complete professional development system built on evidence, grounded in psychology, and designed to produce real change in real classrooms. The child who gets identified two years earlier because a teacher in your school sat in this session, that is the point of this bundle.

Designed and written by Cindy Ettienne-Murphy, educator, psychologist-in-training, dyslexia advocate, and dyslexic learner herself. NPQH | MCCt MSc | 25+ years in education.

The complete bundle: £97.

Bringing a specialist into your school for a half-day INSET costs £500 or more. This gives you everything that specialist would deliver, fully resourced and ready to go, for £97. One purchase. Unlimited use. Every teacher in your building.

Because early identification does not look like a diagnosis. It looks like a teacher who notice.
