About Dyslexia - Supporting literacy in the classroom

This Ministry of Education resource supports teachers, learning support coordinators, and school leaders in identifying and supporting students with dyslexia. Grounded in New Zealand and international research, it offers practical, strengths-based strategies aligned with Universal Design for Learning. Educators are guided in planning targeted literacy instruction, reducing cognitive overload, and fostering inclusive classroom practices. As part of the Inclusive Education platform’s Dyslexia and Learning guide, it empowers schools to adopt a whole-school approach to meet the evolving needs of dyslexic learners.
