Dyslexia
Dyslexia is a learning difference which primarily affects reading and writing skills. However, it does not only affect these skills. Dyslexia is actually about information processing. Dyslexic people may have difficulty processing and remembering information they see and hear, which can affect learning and the acquisition of literacy skills. Dyslexia can also impact on other areas such as organisational skills.
It is important to remember that there are positives to thinking differently. Many dyslexic people show strengths in areas such as reasoning and in visual and creative fields.
As a school we aim to promote learning environments whereby children with dyslexia are given the help and support they need - even if their dyslexia hasn't been formally identified.
Dyslexia East Kent Support
Dyslexia East Kent Support is a local group set up to provide information and support to people with dyslexia of all ages.
We provide information and resources to people with dyslexia, enabling them to reach their full potential. Our team of specialist advisors guides people to find the information they need and supports them to access further resources.
