Bishop Justus is the only BDA recognised Dyslexia Friendly School in
Bromley. We are inspected every three years to ensure we are still
‘dyslexia friendly’ so it is essential we maintain dyslexia friendly practice.

Dyslexia @ Bishop Justus
Here at Bishop Justus we believe that dyslexia is a learning difference;
something to be celebrated and when supported effectively, dyslexia is not a
barrier to achievement.

Dyslexia @ Bishop Justus
Approximately 15% of the population carry the genetic background which makes them predisposed to SpLDs.
Typically we see 4% with very serious issues and 6-8% with mild to
moderate. This makes up 5-6 students per class of 30. Dyslexia alone affects 1 in 10 people making 3 in a class of
30. This is reflective in our school community.
Do you know who is
dyslexic in your classes?

There is an overlap of the Specific Learning Difficulties. If a student has one, they are likely to have traits of
another.

Dyslexia @ Bishop Justus
How to help...•More effective to work with small groups than one to one•Must be multisensory •Phonological skills are essential•Quick feedback to improve accuracy (too many corrections, text is too difficult)•Decoding – breaking words down and sounding out the different parts•Encourage the spotting of patterns•Keep summarising – reading is only effective when they understand the content

Dyslexia @ Bishop Justus
Multisensory Practice:•Auditory – repeat the words, listen to the sounds, identify the sound and the position•Visual – look at the shape of the words (use reading rulers if necessary)•Kinaesthetic – cursive script helps with the pattern of the word, play sound and movement games – natural rhythm helps with reading and writing
