Numerous  curricula  and  programs  designed  to  increase  literacy,  but                
dyslexia  often  overlooked  
1  out  of  5  people  have  dyslexia
20%  of  population  is  dyslexic,  many  undiagnosed
Dyslexia  crosses  racial,  ethnic,  and  socioeconomic  lines  and  with  proper    
instruction  and  accomodations,  it  can  be  remediated
Undiagnosed  students  struggle  and  risk  dropping  out  of  school

Negative  Effects

Feel  “stupid”  in  comparison  to  peer  due  to  struggling  to  keep  up
Problem  gets  worse  as  reading  becomes  more  important  to  learning
