Active Reading Center

Calling all young Dyslexic Thinkers! 📣
We want to see your Dyslexic Thinking skills in action! 🚀

We’re looking for children aged 5–12 to share a quick video of their unique strengths. Whether you’re a master at visualising exciting worlds, an expert at exploring new ideas, or a natural at connecting with people - we want to celebrate YOU!

The Mission: 🎬
Record a short clip (under 30 seconds) of your child telling us: "My Dyslexic Thinking strength is..." or “I’m really good at..”

Bonus Step: Please also include a clear portrait photo of your child so we can feature them in a montage of Dyslexic Thinkers from across the globe!

Why join in?
• Be a Star: Your clip could be featured on the big screen at our upcoming event in London this April! 🌟
• Win Tickets: Every entry goes into a raffle to win tickets to join our event in central London on the morning of the 25th April! 🎟️

How to enter:
1. Film a quick clip on your phone (portrait mode is best!).
2. Email it to [email protected] with the subject line ‘April Event Submission’.
3. Submit by 16th April!

Let’s show the world that thinking differently is the ultimate advantage. We can’t wait to see your brilliance! 🌈

It takes four times longer to intervene in 4th grade than in 1st grade.
The longer we wait to identify a child that struggles to read, the more intervention, time, money and remediation is needed.
Not to mention the impact that waiting may have on self esteem and mental health.
Don’t wait. Close the gap.
