Is our society fully aware of what dyslexia actually is? How children with this kind of learning style see themselves in our social system? I am sure that the awareness of dyslexia is much higher than it was 30 years ago, but we need to ask ourselves if we, the teachers, do everything possible to make sure that dyslexic children, when finishing school, know about their own potential and are self-confident enough to start adult life. Without self-confidence they will struggle to become a part of our society. Teachers need to concentrate on this issue as well as on improving reading, writing and maths.
