Dyslexia Week

5th to 11th of October

Dyslexia is a learning difference which mainly affects reading and writing skills. and can also affect the way information is processed. 10 to 15% of the population have dyslexia and this week is all about raising awareness to support those with dyselexia.

The British Dyslexia Association have created a pack of useful resources which you can access here.

The Association are encouraging workplaces, schools and organsisations to support them by:

• #GoRedForDyslexia to raise awareness
• Take 30 minutes for staff to come together to learn about dyslexia
and the positive impact dyslexia creates
• Signing their petition to help secure a vital increase in assessment and
targeted support in schools

Our Library team will be wearing red for dyslexia. We also have a range of coloured reading rulers, which can be used when reading or using the computers.

Reading rulers to place over text
