How to empower Dyslexic Thinking in Schools
What is dyslexia?
When kids and parents search “What is dyslexia?” online, we are told it’s a “disability” or a “lifelong learning disorder.”
9 in 10 kids say this makes them feel hopeless or scared for their future, and fails to include dyslexics’ extraordinary strengths – now the most sought after in every workplace.
To change this, we’ve created this film to hijack the search algorithm for good. So that each year, millions of children and parents will find it at the top of our searches and glimpse their bright and incredible futures.
We’re asking every school to show the film and learn more about Dyslexic Thinking. Find out how below.
Show “What is dyslexia?” in your school
We’ve created a handy Assembly Pack to help you show our film: “What is dyslexia?” in your schools, classrooms and assemblies. As well as the film, it explains what Dyslexic Thinking is in a child-friendly way.
By showing the film in your school, you’ll join the global movement and help us change the way dyslexia is understood for good!
