Dyslexia at School & College
A learner can understand a subject, contribute thoughtful ideas and be highly capable while finding reading, spelling, note-taking or written work unusually difficult.
This standalone resource looks at what dyslexia can actually feel like in school and college. It explores reading for learning, written expression, copying from the board, note-taking, homework, processing time, memory, classroom materials and the emotional impact of repeatedly struggling with literacy.
The guide also covers assistive technology, exams and assessments, reasonable adjustments, college and further education, confidence, bullying and working collaboratively with parents and carers.
A key theme is making sure the learner's knowledge is not hidden behind the mechanics of reading and writing. Text-to-speech, speech-to-text, accessible notes, written instructions, templates and additional processing time can reduce barriers without lowering expectations.
The full guide also includes a learner support map to identify exactly what is difficult, what happens during the task, what makes it harder and which strategies genuinely help.
