Board of Education honors Dyslexia Awareness Month
- Leadership
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.
