How to Improve
Teacher Assessed Grades
Teachers' estimated grades will be used to replace cancelled GCSEs and A-levels in England this summer, says Education Secretary Gavin Williamson.
He told MPs that he would, "trust in teachers rather than algorithms", a reference to the U-turn over last year's exams.
How does this impact dyslexic students?
Given that dyslexic students have been discriminated against by the current exam system, which does not play to their strengths, this decision could be beneficial for those with learning differences.
Video
This quick video explains how and why the government's plan to assess students this year could benefit learners that find school and exams hard.
This eBook goes into more detail than the video and is easier to refer to.

Parental Support is Key to Success
For students that don’t learn the way schools teach, parental support has always been the key ingredient to enabling students to reach their true potential.
School closures inevitably result in students needing to be more self-motivated. Prolonged school closures are hard for those with learning difficulties. Wise parental support can help students to not become overwhelmed and give up.
Having researched how schools will assess grades, I have collated resources and advice specifically to help dyslexics exceed expectations in 2021.

A ‘Dynamic’ eBook
I normally create eBooks in PDF format, this gives each page a professional look.
How GCSE, AS and A Level grades will be assessed this year is not finalised. The dynamic nature of the information means a PDF would be quickly out of date.
This eBook is therefore not a PDF and cannot be downloaded.
Check back periodically.
Content will be updated as Ofqual makes information available.
