For the Dyslexic Learner

 I've been asked by many parents whether there is any benefit of having the 'label' of dyslexia. My answer is yes, absolutely! 

These are some of the descriptions I've heard about children who are later found to be dyslexic. A diagnosis helps teachers and parents understand why the pupil is struggling and most importantly helps the child to understand that they are not 'lazy' or 'thick'; they just learn differently.

Have a look at the huge successes achieved by the people in this poster. What do they have in common? They are all dyslexic!
