WHAT IT IS

What is dyslexia?

Dyslexia is a neurological difference that affects the way the brain processes language. It’s the most common learning difference, impacting up to 1 in 5 people.

While it can make reading, writing, and spelling more challenging, especially in traditional classroom settings, dyslexia has no connection to intelligence. In fact, many individuals with dyslexia show remarkable strengths in areas like creativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking.

WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR

Signs of dyslexia.

Does your child experience any of the following?

THE EMOTIONS AND EXPERIENCES

Challenges faced by children with dyslexia.

For children with dyslexia, everyday tasks like reading a paragraph or spelling a word can feel overwhelming. Without the right support, these challenges can create academic, emotional, and social barriers:

Child struggling academically due to reading and writing difficulties

Falling Behind in School:

Difficulty reading and writing affects performance across all subjects, in all year levels

Low confidence linked to learning challenges in dyslexia

Low Self-Esteem:

Repeated struggles can lead to feelings of inadequacy or fear of failure.

Anxiety and frustration caused by ongoing learning difficulties

Frustration, Anxiety and Trauma:

The constant effort required to keep up in class can result in stress, disengagement and trauma.

Child feeling isolated due to dyslexia challenges

Isolation:

Children with dyslexia may feel “different” or excluded from their peers.

If these challenges sound familiar, your child may benefit from expert-led support using explicit, multi-sensory, phonics instruction tailored specifically for dyslexic learners.

Dyslexia can be outgrown.

Dyslexia is just about reading.

Dyslexia affects multiple areas, including writing, spelling, memory, and sequencing.
