Phonic knowledge should continue to underpin spelling after key stage 1; teachers should still draw pupils’ attention to GPCs that do and do not fit in with what has been taught so far. Increasingly, however, pupils also need to understand the role of morphology and etymology.” As well as our dyslexia-friendly dictionary, we've got lots of resources designed to support the learning of children with dyslexia.
