New strategy will help Scotland become more dyslexia friendly
Dyslexia Scotland has launched a new five-year strategy setting out how it aims to create a more dyslexia-friendly Scotland.
Following an extensive community profiling exercise, the charity has identified six key priorities it says must be addressed to achieve its vision.
The strategy focuses on tackling long-standing injustices, including delays and costs associated with identifying dyslexia, inequalities in educational attainment, inconsistent or ineffective support and persistent public misconceptions.

Kindergarten cognitive deficits linked to dyslexia risk
Key Takeaways
- Cognitive-linguistic deficits in kindergarten—especially in phonological awareness and letter knowledge—strongly predict early-emerging dyslexia by first grade.
- Specific kindergarten deficits, particularly in letter knowledge, rapid automatized naming, and morphological awareness, remain significant risk factors for late-emerging dyslexia in fourth grade.

Cognitive, Linguistic Deficits in Kindergarten Linked to Dyslexia Risk
Kindergarten deficits in letter knowledge and phonological awareness, morphological awareness, and rapid automatized naming were associated with increased risk for dyslexia.
Cognitive-linguistic deficits in kindergarten are associated with an increased risk for early- and late-emerging dyslexia, according to a study published online March 24 in JAMA Network Open.

Dyslexia Risk Screening in Kindergarten Schools
About The Study: In this cohort study of 515 children followed from kindergarten through grades 1 and 4, distinct patterns of cognitive-linguistic deficits in kindergarten were associated with 2- to 5-fold increased risk for early- and late-emerging dyslexia. These findings provide a foundational evidence base to support the integration of developmentally sensitive screening into pediatric surveillance frameworks, facilitating early identification and a shift from reactive to preventive care, including for children at risk of late-emerging dyslexia.
