Jamie from Highland Council set up a school newspaper to raise awareness

Jamie says, “I have a dyslexia identification and really struggle with spelling and punctuation. I wrote a section for dyslexia awareness that showed what my written pieces of work look like.

My dyslexia awareness paragraph in the school newspaper shows students what your written work might look like if you have dyslexia. Setting up a school newspaper hopefully shows people that with the right support, people with dyslexia can achieve success.”

An image titled “Dyslexia through a student’s eyes.” At the top is a student’s original, phonetically spelled text about dyslexia, showing spelling and spacing challenges. Below is a clearer, corrected version of the same message. The student says their brain is wired differently, they struggle with spelling and need to read things twice, use a blue overlay to stop headaches, don’t give up in life, and enjoy maths, PE and art.
