Identifying and teaching children and young people with dyslexia and literacy difficulties

This UK report focuses on the identification of dyslexia among students and the possible intervention approaches that can be made by teachers and parents. The report recommends professional development courses for teachers to enable them to select and implement appropriate literacy programs. The report also recommends that all teachers have the opportunity to develop core skills in literacy intervention; that selected teachers at each school should have further specialised knowledge; and that local experts with highly advanced literacy knowledge and skills are available to be accessed by others in the region
