It does not affect a person\u2019s intelligence \u2013 it comes in different forms and affects people in different ways.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Someone with dyslexia will struggle with \u2018sounding out\u2019 words in their head or out loud, and they can often read letters and numbers the wrong way around. With the right help, they can still do exceptionally well in academic subjects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They can also be very strong in other areas \u2013 they might have a creative, musical, physical or social flair.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Signs of dyslexia in teens<\/h2>\n<h3>Here are some of the signs and effects of dyslexia:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Difficulty reading aloud or copying out text<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Difficulty concentrate when reading or doing homework<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Particularly bad spelling, with some letters or numbers written the wrong way round<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Writing slowly or struggling to finish tests in the time set<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feeling very anxious about studying<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting in trouble at school for not listening or falling behind<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Struggling with short-term memory<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s also possible to have one or a few of these symptoms and not have dyslexia \u2013 so try not to jump to conclusions without getting a professional diagnosis. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dyslexia can also have the same symptoms as long-sightedness, short-sightedness or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/conditions\/attention-deficit-hyperactivity-disorder-adhd\/\">ADHD<\/a>, so pinpointing the source of their difficulties before taking action is really important.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>If you think your child has dyslexia<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first thing to do is ask their school to test them. Every school is legally required to have a \u2018SENCO\u2019 or a Special Educational Needs Coordinator, and they will be able to help.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can often be a huge relief for kids to be diagnosed as dyslexic \u2013 it can be helpful for them to realise that their brain just works in a slightly different way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>How can school support your teen?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your child gets diagnosed with dyslexia, this means their teachers can be told that they need extra help. They will also be eligible for extra support outside class (if the school has the resources) and extra time during exams.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re worried about making sure your child gets the right level of support, it\u2019s a good idea to arrange a meeting with the Head of Year or guidance teacher. You can also mention your worries with individual subject teachers at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/blog\/parents\/a-guide-to-school-parents-evenings-the-dos-and-donts\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">parents\u2019 evening<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>How can you help your dyslexic teen at home?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After noticing signs of dyslexia and helping them with a diagnosis, try to encourage your teen to ask for help and get organised for their studies and exams.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the classroom, your child\u2019s teacher might have over 20-30 students in a class, so it can be hard for them to give every teen the 1-1 support they need. But, creating a safe space where they feel comfortable and encouraged at home, can help them stay on track.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are our top tips for creating a dyslexic-friendly study environment at home:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"11\">1. Find reading they enjoy<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even for teens without reading problems, the books on the school syllabus don\u2019t always get them excited. If your child can find<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/blog\/parents\/12-books-for-teens-who-dont-like-reading\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> books they enjoy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it can spark a love of reading and even help them improve their reading skills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether it\u2019s crime, graphic novels, books about artists or a book of jokes, encouraging them to find reading material they\u2019re excited about can be a big help.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Audiobooks can also help. Pairing the written book along with the audio can be a good strategy for supporting their reading.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"22\">2. Help to personalise their learning<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9357 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/illustration_online_lesson-520x360.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"520\" height=\"360\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 520px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 520\/360;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9357 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/illustration_online_lesson-520x360.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"520\" height=\"360\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People with dyslexia often learn best by taking in the material in lots of different ways. Staring at a book and copying things out might not help the information stick (though it can be a start). Drawing a mind map and pictures might help them remember better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some dyslexic students find listening to information and instructions especially helpful. For example, they might find it easier to know how to get on with a project if someone explains it to them. You can help them by going over any big projects, and then ask them to tell you what they need to do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When they\u2019re older and more independent, encourage them to do this on their own\u2013 read the questions or instructions aloud for their homework before they get on with it. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"33\">3. Keep a dedicated study space<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9364 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/blog-520x360.jpg\" alt=\"UniWork\" width=\"520\" height=\"360\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 520px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 520\/360;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9364 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/blog-520x360.jpg\" alt=\"UniWork\" width=\"520\" height=\"360\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having a dedicated desk space in a quiet corner of the house is key to helping your child stay organised. This is the place where they\u2019ll keep their books, notepads, timetables and pens \u2013 everything they use to learn.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Especially if they suffer from anxiety, having a space at home where they know they can sit down and concentrate can make a big difference.

As well as the results pressure that all teens feel, dyslexic kids have an extra challenge. But with the right tailored support, they can do just as well (or better!) than their peers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If they\u2019ve been officially diagnosed and got everything sorted with the school, they should have extra time to finish their exams, and possibly the use of a laptop. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"1\">1. Help them g<strong>et organised<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid any last-minute panics by helping your teen be as organised as possible. Start with creating a visible exam timetable and a revision planner. Use folders with all of their subject syllabuses printed and sorted. This will help them make sure they pace themselves and go over every topic they need for exams.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check out these tips in our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/MyT_revision-handbook_Ebook_April-2022_small.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">revision handbook<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 from mind maps to productivity planning, there\u2019s plenty here to help every type of learner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10269 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/02.20_MYTUTOR_school-timetable-520x360.png\" alt=\"timetable-illustration\" width=\"480\" height=\"332\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 480px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 480\/332;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-10269 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/02.20_MYTUTOR_school-timetable-520x360.png\" alt=\"timetable-illustration\" width=\"480\" height=\"332\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<h3>2. Encourage them to study with someone<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Often kids with dyslexia work best in a social setting and not just sitting on their own with their books. You could help them organise different study buddies a couple of days a week. This gives teens the chance to test each other and help each other out with tricky topics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If their school offers afternoon or holiday study clubs, this can be another effective way to learn in small groups. Our expert tutors also run <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pages.mytutor.co.uk\/mytutor-squads?_gl=1*1uskvdz*_ga*MTQ4NDY1NTk1MC4xNjczNTI3MjE5*_ga_0DJNW86GQM*MTY5ODA3NDEwNi4zMDUuMC4xNjk4MDc0MTA2LjYwLjAuMA..\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MyTutor Squads<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 free group tutorials to help students break down tricky subject topics and build up strong study skills.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"3\">3. Factor in regular breaks<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your child is working extra hard to revise their course material and push through their reading difficulties, it can be tiring. By working in regular breaks to their studying \u2013 we recommend roughly every 45 minutes \u2013 they\u2019ll feel less overwhelmed. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/blog\/parents\/mytutor-for-students\/mytutors-2022-exam-revision-toolkit\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pomodoro technique<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a great time management tool for helping them break up study and downtime.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"4\">4. Help to boost their confidence<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even with these tools up their sleeves, teens with dyslexia are more likely to have low confidence and anxiety during exam time. By regularly reminding them that dyslexia has nothing to do with their intelligence and that you\u2019re proud of the effort they put in, you can help take some of the pressure off.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"5\">5. Celebrate what they\u2019re good at<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s also worth reminding your teen that reading and academic study are only one part of life, and there are lots of other things they can be good at. Your child might be really good at sport, at art, building things, cooking \u2013 whatever they do well and enjoy will help them feel proud of themselves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If they don\u2019t have a passion yet, be on the lookout and let them try new things out from time to time until they find something that sparks excitement.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"6\">6. Get some extra help<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve spotted the signs of dyslexia and have a diagnosis, you can double up the support from school with a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/view-tutors\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">one-to-one tutor<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They can provide the support they need and a tutor can be a lifeline for kids with topics they\u2019re behind on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If they struggle with something in class that day, a tutor can go over everything they need at their own pace. They can focus specifically on boosting confidence, and they can help make a revision timetable and build up their study skills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ve seen lots of success stories with dyslexic teens using MyTutor ahead of exams. One parent, Vicky, told us: \u201cMy daughter is very dyslexic and has processing difficulties. She was predicted an E at A-level and got a C.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe one-to-one tutor is what gave her the time to explore the things she didn\u2019t quite get first time, to go over stuff that was covered quickly at school, and most importantly it gave her the belief she could do it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>If you\u2019d like to find a one-to-one tutor to help your dyslexic child, <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/mytutor.co.uk\/book-a-call?_gl=1*1edwjn2*_ga*MTQ4NDY1NTk1MC4xNjczNTI3MjE5*_ga_0DJNW86GQM*MTY5ODA3NDEwNi4zMDUuMC4xNjk4MDc0MTA2LjYwLjAuMA..\"><b>book a call<\/b><\/a><b> with one of our tutor experts \u2013 they will listen to your needs and help you find the perfect tutor or search our tutors <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/view-tutors\/\"><b>here<\/b><\/a><b>.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/book-a-call\/?utm_source=dyslexiablogcta&amp;utm_campaign=jan2020\" style=\"background-color:#08e0d9\">Book a call<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Around 1 in 10 people in the UK have dyslexia, but the signs of dyslexia might be difficult to spot.\u00a0 With the right support, there\u2019s no limit to what dyslexic people can achieve.
