To celebrate Dyslexia Awareness Month in October, Read October raises money through sponsored read-a-thons to fund public libraries. Set personal reading and fundraising goals, and ask family and friends for sponsorship. Your participation will provide decodable books to public libraries and raise dyslexia awareness.
Support Dyslexia Awareness Month and Donate Today!
The International Dyslexia Association of Ontario partners with public libraries to bring awareness to the early signs of dyslexia and provides resources so families can support and advocate for their children. Funds from the Read October campaign help provide training for library staff, grants for decodable books, and information sessions for parents and caregivers.
