Event details
One in five struggle with literacy! Join us for our 2nd Annual 1in5k Dyslexia Dash!
In a world that expects everyone to read and write, this community event will give our dyslexic learners a chance to meet others like them while spreading much-needed awareness!
The Dash is a family-friendly, fun run for all ages and all fitness levels. Participants can run, walk, or dance to the finish line! Strollers and leashed dogs are welcome.
Every student deserves the opportunity to read! IDA Arizona strongly believes that every teacher should be trained in the principles of Structured Literacy, which is beneficial for ALL students but crucial to those with dyslexia!
Teams of 30 can nominate a teacher for a dyslexia training scholarship!
Together, let’s raise dyslexia awareness and build a community for our dyslexic families and the teachers who serve them!
Join us on September 30th; with each step, you are helping to get teachers trained and students reading!
Structured Literacy For All 🕮 Until Everyone Can Read
Don’t forget to share your photos and videos on our Facebook and Instagram pages after the event!
