Hi
What is the best age range for school age children to use this programme?

Hi Karen,
Thanks for getting in touch.
The software is suitable for both adults and children with dyslexia. There is no ‘set’ age limit from Ghotit, however I would personally say that anyone from mid-primary would benefit from using this software.
Hope this helps,
Chloe
