Wichita City Council Declares October Dyslexia Awareness Month

The City of Wichita upholds every child's right to learn to read and recognizes that literacy is a foundational pillar of academic achievement and lifelong opportunity.

The City also acknowledges that students who are not reading at grade level by the end of third grade are four times more likely to fail to graduate on time from high school.

Because of these core beliefs, the City of Wichita has issued a proclamation recognizing Phillips Fundamental Learning Center's accomplishments and declaring October 2026 Dyslexia Awareness Month.
