Governments failure to act now means millions of children will leave school unable to read write and add up.

Still Not Listening

Xtraordinary People is calling for Government to stop wasting time and money and follow the example of independent schools by investing in tried and tested dyslexia specialists, as research indicates dyslexia and Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD) is one of the biggest reasons for educational failure in this country, affecting as many as one in five children.

A group of dyslexic children deliver an ‘end of school term report’ to Downing Street urging Gordon Brown to fast-track their support for dyslexic children and their families following a series of damning reports.

The first report released in March looked at why children are failing. The No to Failure report found that 55 per cent of children failing SATs were at risk of dyslexia and SpLD.

The second report, 'Spelling it Out', released in May highlights the cost to the nation of not dealing with dyslexia. It finds that £1.8bn is being wasted each year that Government fails to ensure schools meet the needs of dyslexic children.
