Help Dyslexia Action end the exclusion of Distressed Dyslexics

Hi my name’s Emilia! Thanks for opening my blog on Dyslexia! I am trying to raise awareness of people with dyslexia and how other people can help them. A very small amount of people know the signs of dyslexia and this is one of the many things Dyslexia Action (My Charity) wants to change. After you’ve finished reading my blog, I hope that you will understand a little bit more about people with dyslexia. I also hope that you will want to support the amazing work Dyslexia Action does.

Dyslexia action is a wonderful charity which spends all of its money on helping children and adults with dyslexia. They run one to one classes helping thousands of Dyslexics all over the country every year with some of the problems they face. Some of the problems they help people face are; difficulties with spelling slow reading and jumbling up numbers. As well as helping dyslexics, Dyslexia Action helps the parents of children with Dyslexia to help their children progress at home.

In the UK 1 in 10 people are proven to be dyslexic. This is a very large amount of people considering not many people have heard of the condition. This means that in your average primary school class of 30 there will be 3 dyslexics. Some of these children however will not know that they are dyslexic at all. They will class themselves as stupid because they cannot keep up with the class. They will be excluded from the class room as 1 in 5 children are all because of one reading difficulty. This is why dyslexia action is needed. But they can’t do it alone. They need you to donate. It doesn’t matter how much you donate, whether you donate once or once a week. They need money to carry on doing all the amazing work they are already doing as all of their life changing resources cost money. Please visit their website http://www.dyslexiaaction.org.uk/ to see how you might help directly.
