Dyslexia petition
I don't often sign petitions but this one makes sense. It calls for dyslexia training to be given to all student teachers as part of their studies. I know my son would have benefitted from always having teachers who understood his difficulties.
It's online on the government's petition website or you can get to it via the websites of Dyslexia Action, the British Dyslexia Association or PATOSS, all of whom seem to support it.
