1 in 5 people have dyslexia -- whether they are Irish, Italian, African, Indian, European, South American, North American, Asian, Australian or otherwise, language learning differences like dyslexia do not discriminate.  Dyslexia is an equal opportunity difference!

#DDChange14 #DDMD #DDSM14

On March 15th, 46 Decoding Dyslexia states will ask the public to display their “1 in 5″ proudly for all to see.

This 1 in 5 campaign is piggybacking the observation of National Reading Month, with the reminder that 1 in 5 individuals are dyslexic and struggle to read and learn in public schools across the country.

Want to join in?   Here is all you have to do.

“Write it out!  Write, post, print, sky write the words: “1 in 5″ on something; your hand, a t-shirt, car window, post it note, even a banner.  Be creative or have your kids decide how to execute ~ they're always full of great ideas!

Take a picture of it and share it!

• On your Facebook page!
• On DD-MD's Facebook page: Decoding Dyslexia MD
• On Twitter! @dyslexiaSOMD
• Instagram it!
• Pin it!

Include the hashtag #showme1in5 so we can all connect.  This campaign is to raise Dyslexia awareness.

1 in 5 individuals are dyslexic; early identification and proper intervention are key to helping these children succeed in their education.

Thank you from all of us at DD-MD! 

We look forward to seeing your “1 in 5″ posts this Saturday, March 15th!!
