Across the country, schools, colleges, universities, groups and workplaces have been taking part in Dyslexia Awareness Week – from 8–14 October – holding events, assemblies and activities to both learn about and to celebrate dyslexia.
A petition opened at the beginning of Dyslexia Awareness Week last year and has reached over 17,000 signatures.
The British Dyslexia Association launched the online petition calling for all teachers to receive dyslexia awareness as part of their initial teacher training draws to a close.
Dr Kate Saunders the chief executive of the British Dyslexia Association said: “We want this to be the biggest Dyslexia Awareness Week yet spreading information and understanding about dyslexia far and wide. This year the theme is Empowering Teachers and therefore the perfect reason to push our Initial Teacher Training campaign epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/20674
“Please use this dyslexia awareness week to sign the petition, if you haven’t already, and to spread it.”
