U.K. group calls for more teacher training on dyslexia

An advocacy group in the United Kingdom is calling for more training for teachers who work with students who have dyslexia. A report by Dyslexia Action calls for a national strategy to address dyslexia to be included as part of the country's efforts to reform special education. "There are positive and affordable things that can be done now. So [let's] work together and put an end to the suffering and sense of failure that is still felt by too many children with dyslexic and literacy difficulties in our schools," said John Rack, the group's head of research, development and policy.
