Video Courses for Home

Dekko Home Video Courses is an online resource that teaches how to develop independent study skills and strategies for learning in creative ways.

For ages 8-14 but suitable for younger and older.

This is an introduction video to “Dekko Home Video Courses”. It tells the story of Rossie Stone, the difficulties he experienced growing up in school with dyslexia, and how he eventually discovered a technique for himself that changed everything. This is the story for the “Dekko Technique”, as well as the story of how Dekko Comics was born.

- Along with an intro and overview video, Dekko Home Video Courses contain 8 videos that teach how to convert text-based school information into various different formats in fun and creative ways.
- Each of the 8 videos range between 4-7 minutes in length, providing a task for the viewer to do at the end of each one. The tasks come with an optional activity sheet to do the task with, which can be downloaded and printed off. A lot of the course’s content involves drawing, but not all of it – and you do not need to be good at drawing in order to take part in the exercises.
- There is also a lot of additional material that the viewer can access flexibly to supplement this course. From our shorter bite-sized videos, “Dekko Shorts”, to our online library of 144 Dekko Comic stories that teach school subjects in a wacky comic format.
- The course is targeted primarily at ages 8-14 (late primary, early secondary school) but is flexible and can be applied to any school age if a pupil is looking for alternative ways to learn or build independent study skills.
- The skills and ideas the course teaches are designed to be especially helpful for developing revision techniques and learning skills, so that the viewer is well-equipped when they have to sit exams. It’s a course that teaches people how to study in a way that works for them, while also embracing who they are and whatever it is that they enjoy.
