The font used will need to be downloaded separately- it’s called OpenDsylexia and can be found here if anyone is interested: https://gumroad.com/l/OpenDyslexic
What to do:
Over the last two years in our school we have used a standardised PowerPoint template. We selected the background colours/font/size, the boxes, the outlines and so on.
All with evidence informed practice at the heart of the decisions. The theory and rationale behind it will be explained in a blog soon here.
So why not use/trial/try a standardised PowerPoint template in your lessons/subject/department/school?
Ask the students what they think?

And check out this website for Free Icons! Here is some information on using Add Ons.
Variations:
Consider;
- How many times does a student have to ask you what the title is? What you’re covering today?
- How many different ways of doing the same thing do our students need to learn?
