Dyslexia needs should be 'part of teacher training'

The Dyslexia Action charity is calling on the Government to introduce a national strategy to cope with the 1.2 million children thought to be dyslexic. They say dyslexia should become part of teacher training and more information should be given to help identify those youngsters who need help.

"Our main message to Government is that we don't have to wait; there are positive and affordable things that can be done now. We now need to work together and put an end to the suffering and sense of failure that is still felt by too many children with dyslexia and learning difficulties in our schools today."

– Dr. John Rack, Head of Research, Development and Policy, Dyslexia Action
