Early Intervention is definitely effective

If your child is struggling to read, waiting to get help is a risk you don't have to take.

Early identification can change the entire course of their learning.

A recent article from USC Dornsife puts it plainly: when dyslexia goes unidentified, children don’t just fall behind academically —they lose their confidence.

Research proves that intervention is twice as effective before 3rd grade. Early support makes all the difference.

Absolutely agree

It is SO important that we relate to children and adults who have dyslexia with empathy and kindness! If they are made to feel ashamed about their struggles, it can take years to undo the harm. Empathy, kindness and understanding make all the difference! www.DyslexiaConnect.com

In 1944, Life Magazine reported that “Dyslexia is responsible for 70% of school failures in 6 to 12 year olds"... see scary pic below 😳

BUT - do our schools understand dyslexia any better in 2026? And do they understand and value our brilliant .

We’re undertaking what we’re aiming to be the BIGGEST ever global research with dyslexics, and with parents & teachers.

Please have your say in our 3 min survey and share far and wide 🙏

26% of children leave primary school not being able to reach expected reading standard

Today, we are sharing a new British Dyslexia Association report ‘Lost in the system: Councils’ blind spot on dyslexia’, which shows stark findings that dyslexic children remain largely invisible in local authority data across England. Only three out of 151 English local authorities could report how many dyslexic children live in their area, despite an estimated 900,000 dyslexic children in schools.

This lack of visibility has real consequences. Many children remain unidentified and unsupported, contributing to ongoing underachievement linked to dyslexia and literacy difficulties. In 2024, 26% of children left primary school without meeting the expected reading standard.

We’re calling on government and local authorities to record dyslexia in education datasets so dyslexic learners are visible and support can be properly planned and improved.

Please help share our findings and help raise awareness to improve outcomes for dyslexic children.

We were pleased to contribute to The Telegraph’s Letters section this week, offering clarity around dyslexia and the importance of early identification.
Our focus remains on ensuring every dyslexic child receives the understanding and support they need.
