DE HCR69

Designates October as "Dyslexia Awareness Month" in Delaware, aligning with National Dyslexia Awareness Month

Recognizes dyslexia as the most common learning disability, affecting approximately 10% of the U.S. population (one in 10 people)

Emphasizes that dyslexia can be identified with over 90% certainty in children ages 5½ to 6½ years old

Highlights that early intervention in kindergarten and first grade significantly improves reading outcomes compared to waiting until third grade or later

Notes that untreated dyslexia is a primary reason teenagers drop out of school and contributes to juvenile delinquency
