Teaching pupils with dyslexia across settings is challenging. It is essential to help teachers provide reasonable and practical adjustments in all classroom settings. Adjustments should be part of normal classroom practice and provide a scaffold to support a range of pupils with additional needs. With the right support from teachers and the use of technology, simple changes can make a big difference to the dyslexic pupil. Technology is an important tool that can be used to support pupils with dyslexia with reading and writing, however, dyslexia manifests itself differently among children

It is critical that children experiencing Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) get the right support – so their needs are identified and met at an early stage.
Here we look at how we support schools to help students with dyslexia.
We help schools identify and meet the needs of pupils with dyslexia
Dyslexia is a Specific Learning Difficulty that primarily affects the skills involved in accurate and fluent reading and spelling.
We have put measures in place to identify pupils who are facing challenges with reading and literacy, and to help teachers understand how to support them. Our SEND Code of Practice is clear that meeting the needs of pupils with dyslexia does not require a diagnostic label or test. Instead, we expect teachers to monitor the progress of pupils and put support in place where needed.
