Celebrate Dyslexia Awareness Month
Join staff, students, and families from Madison's Children's Dyslexia Center to learn more about dyslexia and how we can support our kids, students, friends, and neighbors who struggle to read printed words. A light dinner will be served before a screening of the short documentary, The Big Picture: Rethinking Dyslexia (2012). The evening will close with a brief panel discussion highlighting community resources. Young people ages 8 and up are especially welcome!
RSVPs to youth@madisonpubliclibrary.org or 266-6345 are appreciated but not required.
