With early identification and effective teaching, dyslexic children can learn to read and succeed at school. Without it, they suffer the stress and shame that comes with struggling to read and write. Without it, they won’t reach their full potential.

Dyslexia Canada has launched a petition to put an end to this needless suffering. The petition calls for legislation that will recognize and remediate dyslexia, including compulsory assessment for dyslexia in kindergarten, no later than the end of grade 1.

More than 150 people have signed!! Let’s keep the momentum going. Sign the petition!
