Dyslexia affects around 1 in 10 people in the UK. Many children go through years of school without ever receiving the targeted support that would make a genuine difference.
What is Dyslexia?
Dyslexia is a specific learning difficulty that primarily affects reading and spelling. It is neurological in origin and is not related to intelligence.
10 Signs Your Child Might Have Dyslexia
- Difficulty learning to read despite good general intelligence
- Slow, halting reading with frequent errors
- Poor spelling that doesn't improve with practice
- Difficulty remembering sequences (alphabet, months of the year)
- Confusion between similar letters (b/d, p/q)
- Reluctance to read aloud
- Difficulty following multi-step instructions
- Good verbal skills but poor written work
- Family history of reading difficulties
- Low self-esteem around reading and writing
How Specialist Tuition Helps
The most effective approaches for dyslexia are multisensory, engaging visual, auditory, and kinaesthetic learning simultaneously. The key is working at the child's actual reading level, not their chronological age.
