Reading Resources & Supports at Primary Level



In order to fully benefit from the education process a child needs to be able to read. The acquisition of literacy is a focal point of the English curriculum. It is important that reading, comprehension and writing skills are acquired systematically and that children with particular learning needs are identified at an early stage and provided with adequate remedial support.

If your child is having difficulty with reading concepts, it is important to make the child's teacher aware of this so that they can provide additional support where possible. You may also find the additional resources on this page useful. If you have concerns that your child may have dyslexia you may find our Dyslexia Resources Section useful.
