Education Secretary Ed Balls has pledged to pump £10 million into extra help for children with dyslexia and literacy difficulties.
Mr Balls committed the money for specialist teaching and support for schools and parents after education expert Sir Jim Rose submitted his review of current practices for identifying and teaching children with dyslexia.
His report said all teachers need information to help them to adjust their classes for students with dyslexia, and children who need intensive support should have access to a specialist teacher.
It added that courses should be available to help schools to develop expertise to ensure children with literacy difficulties fulfil their potential.
"It hardly needs to be said that the ability to read well is key to success in education and an essential 'life skill'," he said.
"Responses to overcoming dyslexia and other literacy difficulties must be robust and part of a continued drive to develop literacy in all children, especially in primary schools.
"I am very pleased that all of the recommendations of the review have been accepted. I hope they will help policy makers and providers to strengthen practice, and assure parents that provision for children with dyslexia will be as good as we can make it."
Mr Balls said 4,000 teachers will be funded to train in specialist dyslexia teaching over the next two years - one for every local group of schools.
"The Children's Plan contained a commitment to provide children with dyslexia the help and personalised learning they need in order to fulfil their potential.
