Inspire empathy. Elevate writing. Celebrate Dyslexia Awareness Month.
This engaging project turns your class into a publishing team! Students research a well-known person with dyslexia, draft a one-page feature using a kid-friendly template, and then compile everyone’s pages into a class Dyslexia Awareness Magazine (print or digital). Along the way, they practice research, note-taking, informative writing, visual design, and collaborative speaking & listening... while learning that different brains bring powerful strengths.
