Dyslexia

A different way of processing language, not a measure of intelligence.

What is it, really?

Dyslexia is a learning difference that affects reading, writing and spelling. It has nothing to do with intelligence. With the right support, people with dyslexia can thrive academically and professionally.

What you can do right now

  • Never read aloud in class without giving prior warning
  • Allow extra time for written tasks
  • Use audio alternatives where possible
  • Focus on content and ideas rather than spelling errors
