October is National Dyslexia Awareness Month

It is about raising awareness about Dyslexia and celebrating the gifts and talents that students with dyslexia possess.  

Dyslexia is a common learning difference that affects 1 in 5 people.  It primarily affects the skills involved in accurate and fluent word reading and spelling.   Dyslexic brains are wired differently, meaning these students can often do things their non-dyslexic peers cannot.

At Immanuel next week we will be aware by:   

• On Friday 23^rd October students can wear a splash of RED to raise awareness of Dyslexia (gold coin donation)
• Guess “how many lollies are in the jar” competition 50c a go, in the school office. Drawn 2^nd November.
• Classes will take part in activities to raise awareness in class.
• Money raised will go to dyslexia friendly resources.
