This week is Dyslexia Awareness Week (DAW24), which all pupils will be learning about in their tutor groups.
The theme for this year is “What’s Your Story?” and has 3 key messages:
Every story is different – showcasing the diversity of the dyslexic community and highlighting that everyone’s experience of dyslexia is unique. 10% of the population are dyslexic – that’s over 6.7 million stories to tell.
A strong opening sets the scene – raising awareness of the importance of early identification and intervention to ensure that every person with dyslexia can flourish.
It’s never too late to change your story – highlighting how the BDA can provide support and signposting to help dyslexic people begin a new chapter.
