Board of Education honors Dyslexia Awareness Month

  • Leadership
Board of Education honors Dyslexia Awareness Month

The Five Star Board of Education voted unanimously to honor the month of October as Dyslexia Awareness Month. 

Dyslexia Awareness Month in October aims to support those in the community with this learning difficulty. Dyslexia is not a disorder, but is a learning impairment that causes problems with writing, reading, and spelling. The intelligence of dyslexic people is unaffected. This misunderstanding of the condition leads to stigmas, which Dyslexia Awareness Month aims to correct.

You can read the board proclamation here.

Is your student or school doing anything to celebrate? Let us know!

If your student or school is doing anything special to honor Dyslexia Awareness Month, we’d love to showcase it on our district’s website and social media pages. Please click here to share!
