Sciennes is a Dyslexia Friendly school. On Friday 3rd November we featured Dyslexia Awareness in both P1-3 and P4-7 Assemblies. Ms Kennedy and Miss Thistlethwaite have been working with groups of dyslexic pupils who will deliver year group presentations to P4-P7 next week, in Dyslexia Awareness Week. A group of P7 pupils addressed the P1-3 Assembly and P7 pupil Catherine will lead distribution of blue ribbons next week. Video clips were shown to help explain dyslexia and develop positive attitudes towards having dyslexia and also towards dyslexic pupils who have to work hard to overcome associated challenges. P7 pupils will be selling poppies next week and Mr Howie explained the significance of this. Pupils were encouraged to have safe and happy celebrations on Bonfire Night.

Notes de l'éditeur
- Visual stress, sometimes called Meares Irlen, can affect people with dyslexia. People can have visual stress and not be dyslexic.
- Here’s another example. Remember that not everyone with dyslexia will experience this.
- Removing distractions can help in these circumstances.
- Dyslexia is often described as a different way of learning.
- Here are some examples of things that some people with dyslexia can find difficult. Emphasise that everyone is different and not all will experience all of these things.
- Being dyslexic does not stop anyone from becoming a lawyer, teacher, nuclear physicist or business person. Interesting fact – GCHQ, the Governement Intelligence agency, employs a high number of dyslexic employees because of their code cracking skills. With the right support, children and adults with dyslexia should be able to reach their full potential in education, work and life.
- A big part of the work of Dyslexia Scotland is to highlight the strengths and skills of people with dyslexia. These are especially important because they often help overcome some of the difficulties.
