Like all MGLearnTogether resources, this is formatted according to dyslexia friendly guidelines. The BDA (British Dyslexia Association) conservatively estimates 10% of the population has dyslexic tendencies. Dyslexia friendly colours, fonts and general formatting principles ensure that reading is comfortable for all of us and lessens screen eye fatigue. If you feel you have dyslexic learners in your classroom, I recommend printing these resources onto coloured paper (yellow or blue are most common but you can ask the learner for their preference if you feel it’s appropriate).
