What is World Dyslexia Day?
World Dyslexia Day shines a light on a learning difference that affects how the brain processes words — but doesn't touch intelligence or creativity. Launched in 2013 by the European Dyslexia Association, the day replaces old myths with real conversations: people with dyslexia often excel in design, storytelling, music, and seeing patterns others miss. Across schools, workplaces, and communities, the day invites honest discussion, supportive tools, and a reminder that the difference isn't a weakness — a lack of support is.
How to celebrate
Mark the day with a poster made in Dayfeed — pick your favourite photo as the background, share it to your story or group chat, and set a reminder so you never miss it next year.
