“During National Dyslexia Awareness Month, we recognize the significant contributions made by those living with dyslexia to the unparalleled prosperity and strength of our great Nation. We also pledge to continue fostering an environment that enables all Americans to live more productive, happier, and fuller lives.
As the most common language-based learning disability, dyslexia affects millions of Americans. Those living with this condition experience difficulties with writing and reading. The impacts of dyslexia are often felt the hardest in the classroom, where students with this learning disability can become frustrated by slower rates of academic advancement compared to those of their classmates. This month, we are reminded of the extraordinary work our country’s outstanding educators are doing to help ensure every child has the opportunity to grow and succeed both in and out of the classroom. Further, we recognize that children with dyslexia work diligently to excel in the classroom and to build a bright future for themselves.
