Start by identifying the sharpest difficulty rather than buying broadly. If tracking across a line of text is the problem, a reading ruler helps. If decoding words is the problem, a reader pen or a structured phonics programme is the better first purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDo coloured overlays help with dyslexia?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverlays address visual stress, which is a separate condition that frequently occurs alongside dyslexia rather than being part of it. Where a learner reports words moving, glare from white paper or headaches after reading, a coloured overlay often makes an immediate difference. Where the difficulty is decoding or spelling, an overlay will not help and a literacy programme is the right route. It is worth being clear about which problem you are solving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich dyslexia resources work in the classroom?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSchools tend to build provision from a small number of low-cost items used consistently: overlays and rulers kept in every classroom, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.thedyslexiashop.co.uk\/collections\/tinted-exercise-books-pads-paper\" target=\"_blank\"\u003etinted exercise books\u003c\/a\u003e for pupils who need them, and a shared reader pen for independent work.

There was a growing awareness that students in both sixth forms and in tertiary education had not grown out of their dyslexic difficulties, but rather that the difficulties had become less obvious. These students might have acquired the ability to read with reasonable comprehension, but they were often very slow in doing so. It was also realised that, as children climbed up the education ladder, they had increasing need of advanced study skills, such as note-taking and structuring essays.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs both the study and personal lives of students became busier and more complicated, it could be seen that they lacked the ability to organise themselves in an efficient way.

This can often result in feelings of demoralisation, and even alienation from learning and school. This book aims to address these issues and to help parents understand and deal with them. Dyslexia: A Parents' Guide starts by correcting common misconceptions of learning difficulties that are rife in the press and popular literature, and addresses the conflicting approaches and advice from 'experts'.  This authoritative guide then moves through diagnosis - with information on dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD, discalculia and more - to offering practical and easy tips to enable parents to help their child overcome their learning difficulty.
