What is Dyslexia?

Dyslexia is a specific learning difficulty that primarily affects the skills involved in accurate and fluent reading and spelling. Children with dyslexia often have strengths in other areas and can achieve well with appropriate support.

Cherbourg's Approach to Dyslexia

• We aim to identify dyslexic characteristics at an early stage.
• We work closely with parents and carers throughout the process.
• We provide high-quality, dyslexia-friendly teaching for all pupils.
• We use evidence-informed strategies to support reading, spelling and literacy development.
• We regularly review and monitor each child's progress.
