To ensure every child leaves primary school with good reading skills, Dyslexia Action is backing the ’Read On. Get On.’ campaign. Dyslexia Action is calling for people to sign a national petition to ask all party leaders to commit to making every child leaving primary school a good reader. They’re hoping to provide training for a new generation of school leaders for literacy.
Dyslexia Action is hoping to enhance the skills of the teaching workforce and tackle the ones whose needs are not being currently met by the educational system. The literacy strategies need to incorporate specific measures to address dyslexia and the other specific difficulties. Students need to have different ways of learning to succeed in reading.

Key takeaways

  1. Dyslexia Action has been calling for a national literacy strategy to tackle the ‘one in five’ whose needs are not being met by the current educational system.
  2. No literacy strategy will succeed unless it incorporates specific measures to address dyslexia and the other specific difficulties that make learning to read and spell a challenge for some people.
  3. Students need to have access to different ways of teaching to enable full progress in learning.

Is your child struggling in school?

Get your free personalized learning roadmap

You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.

  • Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
  • Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
  • You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
  • Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly

Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.

Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.

Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.

A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
