GIVE EVERY CHILD AN EDUCATION

New learning stratigies need to be emplemented into classroom, to make sure that every child can understand what there being taught, and so they have the basic's of reading and writing. If we don't get this implemeted now then that means a another generation of children are going to struggle.

Why is this important?

How would you feel if you sat in class listening, paying attention, focusing but nothing seems to be sticking in your head? When you try to read the board but you keep losing your place, and the letters seem to move, but when you finally manage to read it you can't understand any of it and it doesn't seem to make any sense.

So you end up just sitting there waiting for somebody to notice and come and help you. Well this is the truth for 1 in 5 children. Dyslexia doesn't just affect their reading abilities but also their writing, spelling, comprehension, speach, and so many other aspects of their life.

The “one way education” system is old, outdated and certainly not fit for purpose. If we can send people up to the moon, develop new medicines, and the technology to create new medicines, then surely we have the capabilities to add new strategies to classrooms to make sure that every child gets an education suited for their needs that will actually help them in the future?

I am not asking for a new curriculum to be made up overnight or millions of pounds to be spent on useless technology, but instead new strategies implemented into every classroom so children can actually have a shot at living in our world.

For too long dyslexic children have been made to feel stupid, unworthy, and idotic. But with your help, that's not going to be reality for these children anymore. No child deserves to feel like that any longer, no child should be made to think that this their fault, no child should ever be picked on or made fun of because they can’t read the board.

We can’t fix dyslexia, and I would never wish for that, but what I am wishing for is that you agree with me and help me to get every child screwed for dyslexia so work is catered to their needs and can start to enjoy learning again. For many people reading, spelling and writing will just come naturally, and it won’t be something you take for granted. However, for dyslexics every sentence can feel like a marathon, just trying to get a sentence out is a challenge at times. So I hope that you stand with me and agree that it's time for a change to happen. Help me give children a new way to learn, that won’t make them feel stupid or inferior.

Do you know how much it costs just to have a dyslexia diagnoses? Over £400. Many families will struggle to raise that kind of money. Its so unfair that people are forced to gather that sort of money, just to be taken seriously and to receive the help they need. If just 80 people donated £5 then we would be able to get a somebody the diagnose they need and deserve.

So what do I want you to do now ? After reading this I hope that you have a better understanding of what dyslexia is and how effects people. Now I ask you to please sign this petition, tweet, repost, comment, wear a wrist band. This campaign needs to get as big as possible, tell your friends and family. I want this change to happen with your help.
