Science of reading and explicit instruction.

The Science of Reading is a research-based approach to literacy that explores how the brain learns to read. Grounded in decades of cognitive science, it emphasises phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension to build strong reading skills. This evidence-based method helps educators and learners achieve reading success through proven strategies.

What Exactly is Explicit Instruction?

Dyslexia in the Media

Every day, in countless ways, dyslexia affects many aspects of life for individuals around the world. With the right support, people with dyslexia can thrive in school, work, and daily life. Early identification and evidence-based interventions are key to their success.

Dyscalculia in the Media

Australia is in the midst of a mathematics crisis, with teachers now being retrained to break concepts down into clear, logical steps—moving away from the widely used “self-discovery” method. But for students with dyslexia and dyscalculia, this isn’t new. This structured, explicit approach is how we teach best—and always have!

ADHD in the Media

Across Australia, more children and adults are seeking ADHD diagnoses—looking not only for answers to daily struggles, but also to uncover hidden strengths. ADHD is often misunderstood. It’s more than being distracted or impulsive—it affects focus, emotional regulation, organisation, and confidence. For many, a diagnosis is a powerful turning point—bringing clarity and opening the door to tailored strategies for lasting success.

Important Update -
New Government mandate.

While phonics instruction has been mandated in Victorian primary school classrooms from 2025 for Grades 2-4, with full implementation expected by 2027, students with dyslexia and other learning challenges require far more intensive, structured, and individualised support than a standard classroom setting can provide.

This is exactly what DyslexAbility has always done—and will continue to do. Our evidence-based interventions are designed to deliver the depth of support these learners need to thrive in reading, spelling, and writing.
