- Who is the Dyslexia poster for?
- Dyslexia belongs to the Education section rather than to a school year, because humanities is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning inclusive education can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Dyslexia poster?
- Read it before a commercial programme is bought on the strength of its brochure. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Dyslexia belongs on the wall where that humanities work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Dyslexia?
- Access Arrangements, Accessible Materials and Adaptive Teaching sit alongside Dyslexia in the Education section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Access ArrangementsAccessible MaterialsAdaptive Teaching
- Is the Dyslexia poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Dyslexia downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Education section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Dyslexia poster print at?
- Dyslexia is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Dyslexia loses nothing.Printing guide
