Children with dyslexia are to receive extra help in 10 areas under a new £3m pilot scheme. The extra help will be given in catch-up reading lessons or one-to-one help from dyslexia specialists. If successful the scheme will be rolled out across England.
According to the BBC pupils who receive help under the scheme will not need to have been given a statement of special needs – a process which we all know can take years! The government has also announced it is giving £250,000 to Dyslexia Action over three years so it can expand pilots it already runs under the Partnership for Literacy scheme to another 10 schools.
