Chris Blance is an online dyslexia tutor offering a unique style of teaching which is both enjoyable and effective.
A qualified dyslexia specialist for over 25 years Chris has taken many pupils struggling with literacy and transformed them, giving them skills, strategies and a new found confidence which has enabled them to reach potentials they never thought possible. These methods work with any child who has reading and spelling difficulties and not just those who have been given a formal diagnosis of dyslexia. Originally Chris taught local pupils either in schools or in her classroom  at home, but is now teaching exclusively online to anywhere in the world.

Supporting Schools to work with children with additional needs

Around 20% of pupils leave the education system semi literate each year and with restricted budgets. Schools cannot afford to have specialist dyslexia teachers and many don’t have an effective dyslexia teaching programme for schools. EnCHANting Strategies could well be the solution to this problem for numerous reasons:

It’s a unique affordable, multisensory dyslexia teaching programme for schools which has been getting fantastic results for over 25 years. It is devised by specialist dyslexia tutor, Chris Blance from Help for Dyslexia. Once downloaded it can be started immediately and there are hundreds of multisensory, structured worksheets which take the pupil, step by step, up to success with reading and spelling. It’s an enormous confidence booster too.

With 10 instructional videos in the programme, this easy to teach, fun and extremely effective method can be taught by anyone. You don’t even needing to have a teaching qualification! This means that pupils can instantly benefit from specialist teaching and their progress can be rapid.

Dyslexia teaching programme for schools

Although originally designed for dyslexics it has been found to be very effective on children who were just falling behind in their literacy and who didn’t have a formal diagnosis of dyslexia. It has had great results on ADHD and Autistics pupils as well as very encouraging results on Down Syndrome children.

It’s in use in several UK schools, as well as California, also by numerous homeschoolers here and in the USA. Two dyslexic pupils who were put on this programme over a decade ago and who really succeeded because of it, have become teachers and are now using the same methods on their pupils in their schools. Full circles like this are really exciting .

The series of books called Spelling Success just contain Chris Blance’s unique mnemonic methods. EnCHANTing Strategies however contains a more extended section on this as well as an extensive phonic section based on the Orton Gillingham approach. There are hundreds of structured worksheets based on words, sentences and wordsearches giving immense opportunities to consolidate and practice their new skills transforming them from anxious underachievers to confident and capable students.

Hi Chris, thank you for sending your mnemonics books to me. It’s early days but I’m already blown away by the success of your mnemonics spelling system. Fergus has been flying and his enthusiasm is off the scale. The fact he no longer has to sit and write out his spellings is fantastic. We can practice chants in the car, on a walk or even whilst eating dinner. Ordinarily Fergus could learn to spell between 3 and 5 words per week but unless they are practiced everyday they are forgotten again with a matter of days. In 4 days he’s learnt 15 new words and because we can say them rather than writing them he’s practicing them more often and therefore retaining them. I’m finally excited by the fact that we’ve found a system which works for him. For the first time in his life he no longer feels stupid, he now fully believes he’s capable of knowing all the spellings on his word list by the end of the year. I truly can’t thank you enough, I do honestly believe this has potentially changed his view on his abilities for life. The only downside is coming up with the mnemonics as quickly as he’s learning them but I’ll get over it with a smile on my face and a spring in my step! Thank you so much x

Chris Blance helped to restore the self confidence my dyslexic nine year old was losing. The structured learning programme she had developed offers a series of springboards to those struggling to achieve literacy skills. Elizabeth Chetwynd Robson.
