Will be interesting to see how the early years review by Sir David Bell takes into factors such as dyslexia in children - especially having listened to the below podcast on Early years education and childcare being crucial for children's development and social mobility.

Did you know... 1 in 3 dyslexic children aged 5-6 years already feel they can't keep up or do the things other children can.  By ages 7-8 years, this rises to 2 in 3. That's because, with education's emphasis on measuring things that dyslexics find challenging, like reading, writing, spelling and rote learning, we become acutely aware of the things we CAN'T do instead of treasuring the things we CAN. Spotting Dyslexic Thinking skills and focussing on strengths is key to building self-esteem. Because otherwise we lose confidence in ourselves and our ability to learn.
