A Report by Grace Camilleri and Susan Gatt from Malta who were visiting Dyslexia Friendly Schools in Swansea.
"Whilst this experience was much more than an awareness program, it proved that learning can be fun and everybody can benefit from an appropriate supported environment."
"Although ‘dyslexia-friendly teaching’ does not aim at class teachers to work on a 1:1 basis with pupils with severe dyslexia, it will enhance the value of the specialist 1:1 teaching necessary in such cases (in the local scene by SpLD service) and enable these pupils to maintain the use of the skills they are developing. Thus our project aims at helping schools to enhance the acquisition of knowledge, skills, understanding and attitudes of pupils, by encouraging and developing each child to attain maximum individual potential in all areas of his/her education."
