… takes place from Monday 30th September to Sunday 6th October.
This special week is about helping those of us who have DYSLEXIA to help ourselves …
… but it’s also about helping those who don’t have DYSLEXIA to understand how it feels for family or friends who DO have it, and what can be done to help.
Each P3 to P7 class has already received an updated CKPS DYSLEXIA TOOLKIT, prepared for them by this year’s P7 CKPS DYSLEXIA CHAMPIONS. 🙂
When you have time, do take a look at the Powerpoint slides for DYSLEXIA AWARENESS WEEK – there are 13 of them. Slides 11 and 12 provide links to short films (3 or 4 minutes for each one) which some of you may have seen previously:

And below is a link to a 5-minute film showing Hearts’ manager, Steven Naismith, talking about his dyslexia (just in case you’re wondering … the date shown at the end of the film is for Dyslexia Awareness Week, England, 2023).
Steven Naismith, talks about his dyslexia.
Below are three useful links; the first is to the Dyslexia Scotland website which has further information, resources and details about free events, both face-to-face and online:

This session some of us will use ideas and suggested activities from the book pictured below – last year, thanks to DYSLEXIA SCOTLAND, every primary school in Edinburgh, was provided with a copy of … MISSION DYSLEXIA! …
That’s all for now, except to say many thanks to our six CKPS DYSLEXIA CHAMPIONS for their excellent help and hard work, 👏 Mrs Dale
