This bill would require primary schools to screen children for dyslexia and, if a child is identified as dyslexic, ensure teaching methods and assessments are appropriate for them. It sets out how the screening should work and how the results should guide the support a child receives in school. The overall aim is to identify dyslexia early so pupils can get the right help in their education.
