🌟 October is Dyslexia Awareness Month! 🌟
Dyslexia is a common learning difference that affects reading, writing, and spelling. It’s important to understand that dyslexia is not related to intelligence; many individuals with dyslexia are highly creative and capable thinkers.
This month, we aim to raise awareness about dyslexia and its impact on individuals and families. Here are some key facts to know:
📚 What is Dyslexia?
Dyslexia is a neurological condition that makes it challenging to decode written language.
💡 Signs of Dyslexia:
Difficulty reading aloud
Trouble with spelling
Challenges in organizing written work
🤝 How to Support:
Encourage open conversations about learning differences.
Offer patience and understanding.
Explore tailored learning strategies and resources.
The following links provide resources for more information. If you need more information, you can contact your child's teacher or the Dyslexia Specialist on each Bowie ISD campus.
