Dyslexia is common, affecting around 1 in 10 people. It can make reading, writing and spelling challenging - but it has nothing to do with how intelligent someone is.
With the right understanding and support, individuals with dyslexia can learn, grow and thrive.
Understanding what someone is experiencing
These signs can have many causes. Understanding what your child is experiencing is a good place to start.
Reading
Why does reading take me so long?
Recalling
I forget letter sounds and words.
Writing
I know what I want to say, but getting it onto paper is hard.
Spelling
Why don't the letters come together easily?
Dyslexia does not look
the
same for everyone.
People with dyslexia can experience different patterns of difficulty with reading and language.
Phonological
Difficulty connecting sounds with letters and words.
Sight Words
Difficulty recognising familiar words quickly and accurately.
Mixed
A combination of phonological and surface reading difficulties.
Different doesn't mean less.
Some people with dyslexia may be imaginative thinkers, strong problem solvers, visual thinkers or particularly good at seeing connections others miss.

A World of Possibilities. Strengths that are valuable.
Dyslexia can come with strengths that are valuable in many kinds of work - from seeing the big picture and solving problems to thinking visually, communicating ideas and finding unconventional solutions.
See the big picture
Look beyond the details and understand how ideas connect.
Think visually
Imagine, design and work with ideas that are easier to see than to put into words.
Solve differently
Approach problems from unexpected angles and find alternative solutions.
Bring ideas to life
Turn imagination and curiosity into things people can see, use or experience.

The right path isn't
one-size-fits-all.
Dyslexia doesn't determine what someone can become. The goal is to understand their strengths, interests and ways of learning - and give them the opportunity to build on them.
