The Webstore page gives instructions on how to purchase an E-lesson package, or textbook
or course. If you choose a set of lessons that are too difficult or too easy for your student, then purchase the next grade
level package as well. But work through even the easiest set of lessons as there are skills at every grade level that need
to be taught to the dyslexic. It is a gradual building process that starts in the primary grades.
To make the best use of our E-lessons you will need to know:
How to choose the Appropriate E-lessons for Your Child/Student
- Assess your student’s academic abilities and skills to determine grade level. Click on Check List. Choose the
appropriate list according to your student’s age or grade level, then work through the list to determine the
student’s overall learning problems. This will help you decide the following:
- Are your student’s main problems in hand printing, spelling, reading, analyzing, locating information in content,
writing answers in sentences, developing a composition, working with arithmetic and/or mathematics? The Check List will
help you discover these.
- Is the present grade level they are taking too difficult for them at school or through home schooling programs? Use any
assessments or school reports the student has received to help you determine learning problems and successful grade level
attainment in school.
- Each lesson package is based on the degree of difficulty suited to the two grade levels of learning provided in a package.
- Each lesson will teach the skills your student needs in a manner appropriate so the right brain can process more effectively.
- Every lesson provides full instructions and examples on how the student should work through the lessons.
- Each package is designed around a variety of school subjects such as spelling, reading, writing, geography, history, science and literature.
- Each lesson package recognizes the learning differences of the right- brained student at a given level of mental development and learning.

Sales:Dyslexia Victoria for instructions on mail orders.
Each package of E-lessons progresses to the next package
For each grade level:
E-lesson One begins with a set of skills,
E-lesson Two builds on those skills and adds new skills, and
E-lesson Three builds on E-lessons One and Two.
Example: Lesson Package One, Grade Five Six has a lesson on "What is a noun?" -- How do you recognize nouns?
Lesson Two explains plural nouns,
Lesson Three goes on to explain possessive nouns.
The aim is to provide continuous learning of the basics of grammar in a manner appropriate to the student, allowing the student to
adapt what they learn to their lessons in school or in home schooling programs.
Students need to learn to organize their materials, data, ideas, exercise instructions,
exercises, notes, research information, written answers and any tests you give them as part of their training. Also they
should have a means of storing related pictures on CDs, books and magazines that they acquire.
To understand why these are part of their training, you must remember that dyslexic students learn mainly through
visual aids such as pictures, sketches, diagrams, videos, television science reports and any forms that are auditory,
visual or kinesthetic. They also need to be taught how to focus and organize ideas, make and take notes, and collect
the research materials which are required in these lessons.
