Dyslexia often runs in the family

This means that if

your mum or dad is

dyslexic, you are

more likely to be

dyslexic too.

Being dyslexic does not mean that

What can help?

• Computer apps and technology

• Coloured paper and overlays or glasses

• Having help with reading and writing in school

• Being allowed extra time in exams

What helps most is when people

understand more about dyslexia!
