The Dyslexia Study and Revision Toolkit
The Dyslexia Study & Revision Toolkit
Practical strategies to make studying, revising and remembering easier.
Studying can be challenging for students with dyslexia. Reading large amounts of information, taking notes, remembering what you've learned, organising revision and preparing for exams can sometimes feel overwhelming.
The Dyslexia Study & Revision Toolkit has been created to help dyslexic students discover practical ways to study that work with their strengths and learning style.
Rather than expecting you to study in the same way as everyone else, this toolkit gives you a range of simple strategies to try, helping you find the methods that work best for you.
Inside the toolkit you'll find practical support for:
📖 Reading & Understanding InformationStrategies to make reading and processing information more manageable.

Find the study methods that work for you
There isn't one "right" way to study.
Some students remember information by seeing it. Others need to hear it, say it, write it down, move around or practise it repeatedly. This toolkit encourages you to try different approaches and build your own personalised study and revision strategies.
The aim isn't to study harder for longer.
It's about studying smarter, in a way that works for your brain.
For students who want to feel more confident about learning
Whether you're preparing for school assessments, GCSEs, A-levels, college, university or another course of study, The Dyslexia Study & Revision Toolkit provides practical ideas you can adapt to your own needs.
You don't have to study exactly like everyone else to succeed.
Understand how you learn. Find what works. Study with confidence. 💜
