Every parent, carers worries when their child is struggling and unhappy at school. When a child is struggling with reading and writing, it can effect everything. Their behaviour, confidence and motivation. As the work gets harder, they can fall further and further behind. Without the right support at the right time. The child may struggle to pass exams and gain future job opportunities.

• Giving a dyslexic child the right support, at an early age is so important.
• Dyslexic children need extra support. Even with a formal dyslexia assessment.
• Unfortunately teachers, schools can only do so much to help.
