2.2 Appropriate supports

A positive and inclusive school ethos and understanding from staff contributes significantly to providing appropriate support for learners with dyslexia and their families – indeed the same will be for all learners. Due to the individuality of all learners it would not be appropriate to recommend only a few resources from the many which are available. We do not make any set recommendations, but leave teachers and others to evaluate these resources for themselves and establish the most appropriate materials for the individual needs of learners as there is no ‘one size fits all’.

The Resources [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab. (Hide tip)] section within the Toolkit has a range of free resources.
