Views are being sought on how the learning of young people with literacy difficulties, including dyslexia, can be improved in Isle of Man schools.
The International Dyslexia Association estimates between 15-20% of people have some of the symptoms of dyslexia, which can affect a person's ability to read and write, as well as their speech and co-ordination.
The Isle of Man Government would like gather a range of views, but would especially like to hear from parents, carers and teachers.
The four week consultation is part of a wider review of provision that was ordered by Dr Alex Allinson MHK in May 2020, shortly after he took up his position as Minister for Education, Sport and Culture.
Dr Allinson, said: ‘It is important that we get this right so we are looking to those who understand the needs of children with literacy difficulties best – their parents, carers and teachers. We want to use these views to help ensure the best support is available to all children and young people to develop and to secure good literacy skills for their future.’
People have until 17 May to submit their views and anyone who needs additional help can contact the Manx Dyslexia Association (MDA) through their Facebook page, emailing info@manxdyslexia.com, or by calling the DESC on 685812.
