Dyslexia is a Specific Learning Difficulty (Sp.L.D.) which means that an individual learns differently. Dyslexia may be inherited and research suggests that it affects up to 10% of the population. Dyslexia can affect the processing of information, both aural and written; short-term memory; organisation and the sequencing of material into a logical order.

On this page you will find several resources from the British Dyslexia Association which will help you understand dyslexia and guide you when teaching dyslexic pupils.
