This accessible book equips educators with essential knowledge and practical strategies to ensure that all dyslexic students can access the curriculum effectively, make progress and enjoy learning across their entire educational journey. It is essential reading for teachers, teaching assistants and anyone working with learners with dyslexia.
As educators, we want to help our learners flourish during their time with us, both academically and socially. However, many dyslexic children and young people experience substantial barriers to accessing the curriculum which can impact both their academic progress and overall wellbeing.

This easy-to-read book equips educators with essential knowledge and practical guidance to ensure that all dyslexic students can access the curriculum effectively and fully express their ideas, creativity and understanding. Drawing on research and the author’s extensive experience, the book includes:

• A comprehensive introduction to dyslexia and an overview of what it can look like at different stages of education, from the Early Years to Year 11 and beyond.

• Practical, evidence-based strategies to help students with dyslexia and specific literacy difficulties engage with the curriculum, make progress and enjoy learning across their entire educational journey.

• A wealth of case studies and interview excerpts from students, parents and teachers to contextualise their experiences.

• Reflection prompts and exercises to help you consider your own learners so that you can draw on strategies presented in this book as part of your own practice.

Literacy Learning Journeys champions kindness and empathy and takes a positive approach to dyslexia to help children and young people thrive in the mainstream classroom. With easy to dip in and out chapters and signposting to further reading and resources, it is essential reading for teachers, teaching assistants and anyone working with learners with dyslexia.
