The TORE: Now available on pre-order!
We are pleased to let you know that the Test of Retrieval Efficiency (TORE) is now available to pre-order exclusively from the Dyslexia Action Shop.

Written and developed by Anna Smith, Louise van der Valk and Sophia Butler, this all-new assessment test allows you to assess a group of learners at the same time in their ability to to retrieve simple data at speed. It is suitable for ages 13-18, making it ideal for a secondary classroom setting. The test can be completed very quickly, each part only takes 45 seconds and the whole test can be completed in 15 minutes. It is also suitable for learners with English as an Additional Language (EAL), as it does not require them to verbalise the answer.

There's lots of reasons to pre-order; you'll beat the expected rush when the main orders open, and be among the very first to begin assessing your students in a quicker, more efficient manner! You'll also receive your test in a timely manner - as soon as they arrive at the shop, they'll be straight out and on their way to you.

We expect pre-orders to remain open until late April, when the new assessment will arrive at the shop and dispatch will commence.

Want to beat the rush and ensure you can add this new test to your toolkit? Then you can pre-order right here!
Don't forget to use your up to 10% Guild member discount in the Shop.

Call for participants with ADHD for research project

Submitted by jbeechey on

Dr Steve Lukito, Postdoctoral Research Associate presented findings from the Kings College  RE-STAR Research Programme at The Dyslexia Guild Conference 2024, last year.  

He says “I am running a survey, open to young people with ADHD aged 18-25 year old, about the positive attitude that young people with ADHD have about their condition. We are interested in investigating how this relates to mental health and personal characteristics such as self-esteem and other traits.

 I wonder whether you might be able to help distribute this to the members of dyslexia action (some may have ADHD diagnosis too)?”
