This resolution expresses support for designating October 2025 as "National Dyslexia Awareness Month" to raise public understanding of this common learning disability. It defines dyslexia as an unexpected difficulty in reading, often linked to phonological processing issues, and notes its prevalence, affecting as many as one in five individuals. The resolution highlights that dyslexia is the most common learning disability, accounting for 80 to 90 percent of all such cases. It emphasizes the critical importance of early screening and diagnosis to ensure individuals receive focused, evidence-based interventions for fluent reading and overall success. Ultimately, the House of Representatives calls on Congress, schools, and State and local educational agencies to acknowledge and address the significant educational implications of dyslexia.
