The right support

The result of a unique brain development, dyslexia means some students see the world differently from others. Learning styles can vary radically. Generally, students with dyslexia perform well verbally, but can find reading, writing and spelling difficult.

The following downloads will broaden your understanding of dyslexia, and how to support students at all levels:

• For more detail on dyslexia, download What is dyslexia? pdf
• Identify the signs and behaviours, download the Information for teachers pdf or How teachers can help pdf
• Comprehensive guidance, checklists, lesson plans and a reading list can be found in our Guide for teachers pdf
• For advice on presenting information download Ideas for dyslexia friendly formats pdf
