Early indicators of dyslexia can manifest in various ways during the critical stages of language development in children. Recognising these signs early can lead to timely support and interventions, significantly improving the child's learning trajectory.

Dyslexia is a specific learning disorder that impacts reading fluency, decoding, and comprehension abilities. To support individuals effectively, individualised interventions are essential. Research highlights that structured literacy approaches are particularly beneficial for dyslexic learners. This method focuses on the systematic and explicit teaching of key reading components, such as phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension.

During World War 2, after Hitler had overrun the continent and invaded the Soviet Union, the allies had made a treaty with the Soviet Union to supply them with war supplies. Cargo included tanks, fighter planes, fuel, ammunition, raw materials, and food. The early convoys in particular delivered armoured vehicles and Hawker Hurricanes to make up for shortages in the Soviet Union. The Arctic convoys caused major changes to naval dispositions on both sides, which arguably had a major impact on the course of events in other theatres of war. As a result of early raids by destroyers on German coastal shipping and a Commando raid on the Norway coast, Hitler was led to believe that the British intended to invade Norway again. This, together with the obvious need to stop convoy supplies reaching the Soviet Union, caused him to direct that heavier ships, especially the battleship Tirpitz, be sent to Norway, along with submarines.
