Support for Students With Dyslexia

As educators, we are responsible for the learning of everyone in our classroom. However, it can be challenging without a clear understanding of what living with dyslexia means for our learners and how we can support them by creating a supportive learning environment.

In this module, we will gain an understanding of what dyslexia is, expel some common myths, develop an awareness of the signs and symptoms of dyslexia, and how they can present themselves in the different phases of a person’s life.

In this module, we will consider the impact dyslexia can have on the everyday lives of individuals. Dyslexia varies from person to person; no two people will have the same set of strengths and weaknesses, which can have a substantial effect on an individual’s day-to-day activities.

In this module, we will consider the legal role schools and educators play in supporting students with additional learning needs, including dyslexia. We will then explore ways in which we can create a dyslexia-friendly learning environment and look at teaching strategies to support dyslexic learners in the classroom.
