Dyslexia Awareness Week

Dyslexia Week (3-9 Oct) is an annual event to raise awareness of dyslexia. Every year British Dyslexia Association produce resources and share information with teachers, employers and the general public to highlight a different dyslexia-related theme.

Dyslexia is a common learning difficulty that can cause problems with reading, writing and spelling.

It's a specific learning difficulty, which means it causes problems with certain abilities used for learning, such as reading and writing. Unlike a learning disability, intelligence isn't affected. It's estimated up to 1 in every 10 people in the UK has some degree of dyslexia.
