Dyslexia is a Specific Learning Difficulty(SpLD) that primarily affects reading ability, although it can also manifest itself in writing. Its worldwide prevalence is estimated to be between 5% and 15%. In Spain, it has a 5-to 10-percentage-point impact on primary and secondary education. To be effective educators, teachers and parents must have a thorough understanding of dyslexia and how it affects their students/children. Most importantly, locating resources that can be used with dyslexic children would be extremely helpful. Therefore, this reports aims at such an endeavor. It starts with a brief explanation of what dyslexia is and how it manifests itself. The report then goes on to describe the findings of a Delphi study on the use of technology in the treatment and support of dyslexic children. Finally, it includes a list of resources for students with dyslexia who need assistance with literacy.
