It’s estimated that around 1 in 10 people in the UK suffer from dyslexia. Contrary to popular belief, this learning difficulty doesn’t only affect reading and writing skills. It can also impact a range of intellectual and social abilities, such as motor co-ordination, calculation skills or personal organisation.
Although dyslexia may create learning challenges, recent research has shown how it can also be a cognitive strength. Dyslexic people can have excellent memories for stories, they are often avid puzzle solvers, and they’re also recognised for thinking outside of the box.Â
Dyslexia causes people to process information differently. If this is not recognised and addressed, learning in the classroom can be difficult – knocking a child’s confidence and hindering academic progress.
