Hello HHCS! October is Learning Disabilities and Dyslexia Awareness Month. I hope you will try out some of these books with your children! It is important for children to see themselves reflected in literature as well as to look out into the world and learn something new about other people or places. Whether learning disabilities are something your family is very familiar with, or a subject that is new for your kids, some of these books would be great to use as either a “mirror” to reflect themselves or a “window” to look out and learn something.
