How Libraries Can Better Serve Youth with Dyslexia, an Infographic

October 1, 2019 by Karen Jensen, MLS   5 comments

Today is October 1st, which means we’re officially kicking off Dyslexia Awareness Month. I created this infographic that I made using Canva to give those of us who work in school and public libraries a basic over view of what we need to know about dyslexia and a few bullet points about better serving our youth with dyslexia. Tomorrow, I’m going to talk more about those various bullet points and what they mean. In the coming weeks I will be sharing some resources, book lists and more. If you missed it, yesterday I shared my personal journey as a parent learning about dyslexia and how to better help my own child.

    Karen, I have a sinking feeling that I mistakenly messed up your infographic while I was trying to download a print-size version.

      I will go in and try to recreate it later today from the PDF.

      Hi Scott, it does look like something happened to it. I have a JPEG of it saved, so it’s probably okay. I took the link out of the post so people wouldn’t click on it and be confused because the graphic wasn’t there.

        Mostly recreated it. I don’t have the pro version, so don’t have the clipart and can’t make it bigger, but here’s the edit link:

    This is so great Karen! Can I download this somehow and share it with my child’s librarian?
