Supporting dyslexic learners with comprehension in the classroom requires strategies that reduce cognitive overload, build confidence, and make reading more accessible. Brain-based strategies are grounded in how the brain processes language, memory, and learning. They aim to reduce cognitive load, engage multiple senses, and build strong neural connections.
Lou Barnes, a speaker, trainer and teacher with 20 years experience, shares simple, brain-based strategies that support not only dyslexic learners but benefit the whole class! She uncovers what’s really going on for children who struggle with comprehension, despite appearing to read, and shows how to shift the way their brains process text. Her training offers clear insights and practical strategies you can use to really make a difference.

About the Creator
Lou Barnes / Teacher, Trainer & Speaker – Unlock Learning
Lou Barnes worked as a dedicated primary school teacher for 20 years, where she loved nurturing young learners. However, year after year, she witnessed bright, creative children struggling with reading and writing, despite countless school interventions. Frustrated by the lack of lasting progress and disheartened by the damage to children’s confidence, she knew there had to be a better way.
Her search led her to Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), believing it could offer real solutions, Lou left full-time teaching to study NLP. She discovered how powerful the subconscious brain is – and how working with it could unlock reading and spelling for those who previously found it impossible. She finally understood why her students were struggling, and more importantly, how to help them succeed.
Over the past 15 years, Lou has blended NLP with her teaching expertise to create a unique two-part process that transforms how dyslexic children and adults learn. Through her business, Unlock Learning, she now works one-to-one to help learners gain the confidence and skills they once found out of reach. Passionate about her mission, she aims to share this life-changing approach as widely as possible.
