This parent information sheet provides an overview of dyslexia, including common characteristics, early warning signs, and how dyslexia can affect reading, writing, spelling, and learning. It is designed to help families better understand dyslexia and recognize how it may impact a child’s educational experience both at school and at home.
The guide also explains the importance of early identification, appropriate supports, and evidence-based instruction to help students with dyslexia succeed. Families and educators can use this resource to better understand available interventions, accommodations, and strategies that support literacy development and student confidence.
