Dyslexia and learning
The result of a unique brain development, dyslexia means some students see the world differently from others. The ways people learn can vary radically. Generally, learners with dyslexia perform well verbally, but can find reading, writing and spelling difficult, as well as processing information and organising their work.
Learn more from this guide written in collaboration with GTCS.
Addressing Dyslexia Toolkit
This free resource provides information for teachers, schools and local authorities on inclusive practice, literacy difficulties and dyslexia. The Addressing Dyslexia Toolkit guides you through a learner-centred, collaborative process of identification, assessment, support and monitoring.
The Toolkit offers invaluable guidance. It is designed for teachers and early years workers to use to assess literacy difficulties and dyslexia and to help you in both identifying and supporting learners with dyslexia in school.
