The year we focused on empowering individuals with dyslexia. #GoRedForDyslexia committed to making an even GREATER impact for Dyslexia Awareness Month and saw some amazing people doing some amazing things to get involved.
From encouraging communities to donate to their local dyslexia association to watching our Go Red beach ball travel the globe (quite literally), we really brought the dyslexia community together for greater awareness and positive change.
The colour red started making an appearance on landmarks in various global locations after an initial campaign founded in Australia in 2015 called Code Read. The founders were mothers who whose aim was to raise greater awareness of dyslexia and advocated for their children. The fact you’re reading this today is testament to their commitment and success. Many dyslexia campaigners share common goals around equal access to literacy and reading, pushing for:
• dyslexia-aware teachers • early screening and identification • appropriate support
