Numbers with dyslexia-more than we think?

I am a primary teacher in Scotland and I am sure I have read somewhere that 1 in 10 children have difficulties of a dyslexic nature. I would argue that it is nearer to 1 in 2 or 3. I am definitely more aware and knowledgeable now about dyslexia and so now realise that pupils I taught in the past who had problems with learning had dyslexic type difficulties. Of the class I am currently teaching, half have difficulties associated with dyslexia, a few of which are quite severe. Of my last three classes I have taught, there were at least 10 pupils with similar issues. I just wondered if other teachers have classes where the numbers of pupils with dyslexic type difficulties is so high?
