Abstract
This article compares the DECP Report with the influential Rose Report on dyslexia published some 10 years later. We argue that the working definitions adopted by the reports are similar – the only important difference is the notion of a continuum introduced explicitly in the Rose Report. We discuss implications for EP practice particularly in relation to current developments in the field. The continuum implies that the distinction between ‘dyslexia’ and ‘not dyslexia’ is blurred. Becoming more relaxed about the use of the word ‘dyslexia’ can have many positive outcomes but there are also hazards.
