Dyslexia Awareness Month
- October is Dyslexia Awareness Month!
-
It is estimated that up to 20 percent of the population has some degree of dyslexia. This means in a classroom of 25 students, about five will have dyslexia. Of the millions of American adults with dyslexia, only about 5% know they have dyslexia.
Here is a resource for parents of children with dyslexia: https://www.readandspell.com/us/how-to-help-a-child-with-dyslexia-at-home
