Nothing is more powerful than awareness. When someone is fully aware of who they are, of their strengths and weaknesses, they can lean into their abilities and seek resources to help with their needs to become the best and most fulfilled version of themself.
Dyslexia is a disability, but along with its many challenges come some pretty spectacular abilities, and we’re grateful for the research and literature that aims to spread this knowledge.
In honor of Dyslexia Awareness Month, we asked our employees about their favorite books about dyslexia. As a company that produces assistive technology tools made for people who struggle with reading and writing, our team consists of a diverse background of folks: those with a background in education, parents of dyslexic children, and some, like founder Don Johnston, are here because we’re dyslexic too (and we use our own products!).
The list that follows includes a few in-depth educational nonfiction books, fantastic YA fiction, illustrated children’s books, and narrative nonfiction.
We really hope you like the list, find it useful, and use it to help you or somebody you care about understand more about themselves!
