Reasons why the English Language is hard to learn

that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a 
guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.


And why is it that writers write but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t
 groce 
and hammers don’t ham? 
If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn’t the plural of booth beeth? …. English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the
 creativity of the human race (which, of course, isn’t a race at all) …

Looking for a school focussing on Dyslexia

This email was recently sent to me and I have posted it, incase anyone can help with the school suggestion.

Recently my 6 year old was diagnosed with dyslexia and adhd. We have enrolled him into a school that teaches the Orton Gillingham method. We will be moving to Melbourne, VIC and needed to find a school similar if there are any. We hear that you may only need a couple of years if caught early and it’s severity.
I have been searching the web for Australia Melbourne schools but they don’t have any listed for dyslexia.
