October is Dyslexia Awareness Month

The Learnersaurus team are clapping our hands and bursting with enthusiasm as we launch into October, or as we know it; Dyslexia Awareness month!

It’s an opportunity to shout it from the roof tops as a collective that first and foremost, DYSLEXIA EXISTS!

Teaming up with other like minded organisations is the way to have our voice heard and create that swell of interest and strive for some understanding around dyslexia in the wider community.

You won't find us stretching ourselves across a major road in the city or swinging from a bamboo pyramid on a bridge, but you will hear us telling everyone we see that dyslexia is real and it is not a choice, it's a neurological condition and it is genetic in origin. Neuroscience has proof!

The facts are clear and we have no excuse to continue to provide an education system that ignores this. Did you know that 20% of our population are disadvantaged by the ignorance of some our educators?

Please help us to help others understand what dyslexia is, and learn how to support the dyslexic learners. You can start by sending an educator a link to the Learnersaurus "Introduction to Dyslexia” online short course.

Join us, as we work together with Code Read to raise some funds for more research and advocacy for literacy learning. Just head to https://codereadnetwork.org/ and get involved now!
