Dyslexia • Provide clearer guidance for students in language exams
The Straits Times
|November 24, 2025
My 11-year-old was diagnosed with dyslexia. After his assessment at the Dyslexia Association of Singapore (DAS), he was granted a reader for mathematics and science examinations. However, for the languages - English and Chinese - he was offered only extra time.
Dyslexia is a reading-based disability. When a child’s decoding fluency prevents them from accessing the printed paper, denying a reader for language exams prevents them from demonstrating their true knowledge and skills. Access Arrangements are intended to level the playing field.
