Following a landmark Government report, more teachers are to be trained in the identification and support of children with dyslexia.

A recent review of the English primary school curriculum, said as well as £10m funding, parents also need to be made aware of the help available.

Children's Secretary, Ed Balls, has said "I have met many parents who have struggled to get the right support for their children … every child's reading needs will be monitored, those who need extra help will receive one to one support, and children with severe literacy difficulties will have the help of a specialist dyslexia teacher."

He went on to say “We are going to say loud and clear today, through Jim Rose's report, that dyslexia exists, it is a condition where there should be help for every child in every school. We are going to make sure that every teacher gets some basic training to recognise the issues."

As experts in dyslexia, we think this is fantastic news. For 20 years, Keytools has supported teachers and students with a range of products to help with learning difficulties, including dyslexia.
