World Dyslexia Awareness Day at Shiv Nadar School, Faridabad

To mark World Dyslexia Awareness Day, students across grades at Shiv Nadar School, Faridabad participated in a series of engaging activities aimed at fostering empathy, awareness, and inclusion.

In the Early Years, a storytelling session was held in the library, followed by a special assembly for Kindergarten to Grade 2. The session highlighted the importance of supporting one another as a community and celebrating each child’s unique strengths.

Grades 3 to 5 observed the day during Circle Time on 13th–14th October. Through interactive presentations, videos, and reflective discussions, students learned about dyslexia and explored ways to embrace diverse learning styles. They signed a Pledge Poster to reaffirm their commitment to kindness and inclusion and received a bookmark as a takeaway—reminding them to celebrate differences with empathy.

In the Middle and Senior Years, students participated in a dyslexia simulation activity and viewed an informative short film to better understand the challenges faced by individuals with dyslexia and the importance of acceptance in creating an inclusive environment.

The week’s highlight was the Dyslexia Awareness Stall, which featured a range of resources and strategies used to support reading—such as reading windows, coloured overlays, visual perception tools, and learning games. Teachers enthusiastically explored these materials, reflected on their practical classroom applications, and shared ideas to make reading more accessible and joyful for every learner.
