Practical strategies to help teachers understand dyslexia, remove barriers to literacy and support every learner to make progress.
Dyslexia can have a significant impact on how children develop their literacy skills – but with the right understanding, teaching approaches and support, children with dyslexia can thrive.
The Impact of Dyslexia on Literacy Development provides teachers with a practical guide to understanding the different elements involved in becoming literate and the barriers that children with dyslexia may experience along the way.
Rather than simply identifying difficulties, this book focuses on what teachers can do to support learners.
It explores the different strands of literacy, explains the challenges that dyslexic learners may encounter and provides practical, evidence-informed strategies that can be used immediately in the classroom.
What will you find in this book?
✔ Understand the impact of dyslexia on literacy development and why particular difficulties may occur.
✔ Identify potential barriers to learning across different aspects of literacy.
✔ Develop effective classroom strategies through high-quality, whole-class teaching.
✔ Support learners through targeted small-group work and 1:1 interventions.
✔ Adapt teaching without lowering expectations, helping dyslexic learners to access the curriculum and make progress.
✔ Use strategies that benefit all learners, not just those with dyslexia.
This is a solution-focused, practical resource designed to help teachers move from “What is the difficulty?” to “What can I do differently to support this child?”

This is such a purposeful, solution-focussed book. I love how it looks at each strand of literacy and outlines ‘typical development’ in each strand. Then explores responsive strategies to the possible barriers to learning in that strand.
