The British Dyslexia Association (BDA) has called for mandatory dyslexia awareness sessions to be included in all initial teacher training courses.

The charity argues that all teachers should be trained to understand how dyslexia affects learning and how to ensure dyslexia friendly practice in schools. Teachers should know when to put children forward for dyslexia assessment and when to provide appropriate intervention.

The BDA has started an online petition which those wishing to support the campaign can sign by visiting:
