Each year, October is recognised worldwide as Dyslexia Awareness month, a time to come together to raise awareness, share resources and tell stories about dyslexia success.
Did you know?
- Dyslexia is one of the most common learning difficulties affecting 5-10% of people.
- Children and adults with dyslexia can have difficulties with accurate and fluent word recognition, spelling, writing and reading comprehension.
- Students with dyslexia can improve their reading and spelling skills with evidence-based literacy instruction and intervention.
- Dyslexia is not a vision issue and cannot be resolved by vision interventions such as coloured glasses or eye exercises.

This month, they are offering a FREE Understanding Dyslexia on-line course! This professional learning opportunity is perfect for parents to help support their son/s in the home setting.
