What is an educational learning plan for dyslexia?

Learn how a dyslexic child can get extra help at school.

Do this by asking for an Individual Education Learning Plan (IELP).

Any struggling child can have a learning plan, even without a formal dyslexia diagnosis.

Get dyslexic help in school

Learn more about how to get a learning plan for a child and what it should include below:

• The teacher or special educational needs coordinator (SENCO) should write the IELP. It is sometimes called a passport and varies between schools.
• The plan should include clear targets that the child is working towards. You can request one for any child who is struggling and falling behind in class.
• Having a learning plan ensures the child gets the support they need in key areas. It also helps monitor their progress and improve essential skills.
• An Individual Educational Plan (IEP) is different from an Education, Health and Care plan (EHCP). An EHCP must be written by your local authority and can provide funding for special equipment or additional teaching support.

Watch the clickable video below, ‘Educational learning plans’. Dyslexic Mum discusses how to get schools to support a child with the signs of dyslexia.

An Individual Educational Learning Plan (IELP) should include:

• What the child is learning
• Who will help them
• Why they are learning this
• When their progress will be checked
• Where they will show signs of improvement
