THE British government has announced a £10 million ($16 million) package to train 4,000 special dyslexia teachers over the next two years. The money will go towards supporting parents and schools and will pay for the training of special dyslexia teachers. The move follows a review of how schools can identify children with dyslexia by the education expert Sir Jim Rose, who said all schools and teachers should have up-to-date information about literacy difficulties so they can adjust their teaching style. The education secretary has accepted Rose’s recommendations and commissioned further guidance and training on literacy difficulties.
