Between 1 and 3 students in every classroom in New South Wales may experience difficulties with learning.
We can help.
We are parents, teachers, tutors and professionals with a shared commitment to early identification, effective intervention and support for children and adults with specific learning difficulties, like dyslexia.
If your child struggles at school or at home with reading, writing, spelling and maths and you’re looking for support get in touch. Not all children will have a specific learning difficulty but it’s important to seek support early.
If you’re looking for support start here or contact the SPELD Infoline today.

New Reading Professional Learning Courses with SPELD NSW in 2023

Teaching Reading in the Early Years- a step forward in planning
Many school communities are excited by the new path that the NSW K-2 English syllabus is taking and they are ready to jump in feet first into evidence-based reading instruction. Armed with the understanding that a systematic and explicit approach to reading instruction is the most effective in reaching all learners, many schools are now seeking to understand what that might mean in their context.
Teaching Reading in the Early Years- Why did nobody tell me that!?
At SPELD NSW we have the great privilege of working with teachers at various stages in their careers. In a lot of our Professional Learning and school-consulting work we hear the exasperated catch-cry ‘Why didn’t anyone ever teach me that?!’.
