‘Addressing Dyslexia Toolkit’ launched

This revised and upgraded version of the former Assessing Dyslexia Toolkit provides a resource for all who are involved in the identification and support of learners who are exhibiting difficulties with literacy.  Teachers can use the Addressing Dyslexia Toolkit at varying levels depending on their existing knowledge of dyslexia and support for learning needs.  The toolkit guides users through the steps from initial identification of early signs of difficulty in literacy development putting in appropriate teaching and support, evaluating that support, and where appropriate, considering whether the term ‘dyslexia’ is appropriate.  Parents are also provided with an overview of their child’s dyslexia and tips and advice are provided on how to address dyslexia.  Information is also provided for the pupils themselves.  The toolkit can be accessed at www.addressingdyslexia.org or via the Dyslexia Scotland website at www.dyslexiascotland.org.
