Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Mark Menzies and Claire Coutinho

Monday 17th April 2023 Commons Chamber

[Claire Coutinho]

In tandem with the phonics tests, they will be a really good way to screen children for dyslexia and make sure that with our initial teacher training improvements we are capturing and helping children who are struggling with things like dyslexia, as soon as possible.
