I had a friend who was a head teacher forty or so years ago and she said to me that there was no such thing as dyslexia. I really respected her views on other things so, in retrospect I wish I’d questioned her on it. When I was at primary school in the 1950’s in our last year we were split into two classes, those of us that were capable of going to grammar school and another class of virtually forgotten children. Looking back I wonder how many of them were dyslexic.
