October is Dyslexia Awareness Month 💛
We’re kicking off our Myths vs. Facts of Dyslexia series with one of the biggest misconceptions we hear.

🔴 MYTH: Dyslexia is just reading backwards.
🟢 FACT: Dyslexia is much more than reversing letters.

Children with dyslexia may have difficulty learning to read words accurately and fluently, sounding out unfamiliar words, spelling, and developing automatic word recognition.

While some children with dyslexia may reverse letters, letter reversals on their own are not what defines dyslexia.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be busting some common dyslexia myths and sharing information to help families better understand what dyslexia can actually look like.

Because when we understand why a child is finding learning difficult, we’re in a much better position to give them the support they need. 💛

Follow along as we separate the myths from the facts.

Don't wait until next year to tackle those niggling learning gaps. 🌈

Term 4 can be the perfect time to get started.

If you've noticed your child is struggling with an area of literacy or numeracy, finding school increasingly difficult or there are a few gaps that just don't seem to be going away, starting now gives them the opportunity to finish the year strong and head into 2027 with a head start.

It also means you can beat the Term 1 rush.

Historically, Term 1 can be a tricky time to secure a place at Flying Colours, as families often reach out once the new school year begins and learning difficulties become more apparent.

Starting in Term 4 means your child can:

✨ begin addressing gaps now
✨ build skills and confidence before the new school year
✨ maintain momentum into 2027
✨ secure their ongoing place for next year

Rather than waiting to see how next year goes, use the final term to give your child a stronger foundation to start from.

Finish 2026 strong. Start 2027 one step ahead. 🚀

If you've been wondering whether your child might need some extra support, we'd love to chat.

The A–Z of Learning Support: See how we do more than tutoring!

05/10/2026

26 letters. 26 ways we do more than tutoring. 💗

And just like that… we’ve made it from A to Z!

Over this series, we’ve taken you behind the scenes of what specialist learning support and intervention really looks like at Flying Colours.

From Assessment and Barriers to Learning, through to Guided Practice, Working Memory, Executive Functioning and the Zone of Proximal Development — every letter has highlighted another piece of the much bigger picture behind effective learning support.

Because we’re not here simply to help a child with the work in front of them.
We look at the learner behind the schoolwork. 🦋

We assess. We observe. We explicitly teach. We respond. We adjust. And we build the foundations children need to become more confident, capable and independent learners.

That’s the difference between helping with the work and changing how a child learns.

💬 Now we’d love to hear from you…

Which letter surprised you most? Or which topic would you like us to talk more about?

If you know a parent or teacher who still thinks learning support is just another word for tutoring, share this Reel with them. 💗

It isn't about lowering expectations. It's about creating the pathway that allows a child to reach them.
