This is a presentation that I did for my school for Dyslexia Awareness Week 2019. I did it because I'm dyslexic and I wanted all the other kids in the school to know that while being dyslexic can be a bit rubbish, it can also be pretty awesome too. This is the video I showed – check it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11r7CFlK2sc&t=51s A great book that we used as a source for this presentation is 'The Illustrated Guide to Dyslexia and its Amazing People' by Kate Powers and Kathy Iwanczak Forsyth.
