Dyslexia Friendly books in all schools

The Issue

There are many children in the country that struggle with dyslexia, they are expected to read books the same as their peers, which for a dyslexic student can be challenging, after doing some research it is clear that schools do not provide dyslexia friendly books. With the implementation of dyslexia friendly books into schools it will give them a fighting chance at an education. My daughter and friends have struggled through school due to not having the right kind of help, yes they have overlays etc but if these books were introduced which look the same as a regular book children would not feel so alienated or frustrated.
