Middle School Success Master Class (Self-Paced)

Welcome!

I’m so excited to share with you the many things I’ve learned about preparing our middle school kids for success.

I’ve worked hard to create a resource that is easy for you to consume.

Below, you will find 4 teaching videos each with a printable note-taking page, and a resource PDF with links to resources mentioned in the teaching.

Take your time to go through the materials, making note of your observations and takeaways.

You will have unlimited access to the video teachings and downloads so take your time and consume the information as it fits your schedule.

If you have any questions, email me at marianne@homeschoolingwithdyslexia.com.

Session 1: Learning in Middle School: What to Expect

In this session, we are beginning with a big-picture look at learning in middle school; what kids’ brains are doing, how that is affected by dyslexia and ADHD, and an overview of what kinds of priorities we’re going to be focusing on during the middle school years.

Session 3: Overcoming Obstacles

In this session, we’re talking about Overcoming Common Obstacles to homeschooling middle school students with dyslexia.

The video is a little longer than the other sessions at just a tad over 40 minutes.

It will give you a good mindset around the types of resistance we may be encountering with our kids and how to overcome them.

Session 4: Goals, Priorities, and Looking Ahead to High School

In this session, we are wrapping up the masterclass by putting together what we’ve been learning into a loose academic plan. Remember this advice to always plan in pencil – especially with our outside the box learners!

There are a lot of new resources in this session.
