What is dyslexia?
Dyslexia is a learning difference that affects reading, spelling, writing and processing — not intelligence or effort.
Signs of dyslexia
Common signs of dyslexia in young children, primary-age children and teenagers — and why older children often hide their struggles.
Getting a dyslexia assessment
When to seek extra help, who can assess, useful questions to ask school, and what a good dyslexia support plan looks like.
Dyslexia at school
Classroom adjustments, teacher do's and don'ts, homework that doesn't end in tears, and how exam access arrangements work.
Helping at home
Practical ways to support reading, spelling, writing, memory and confidence at home — plus activities, technology and language that helps.
