In addition to our Facebook page, we have decided to start this blog! We want to have a place where we can pass things along to you that are a little too long for a Facebook post and this is where that will happen. Each time we make a post here, we will share the link to it on our page.
As you already know, the main focus of our page is to raise awareness for dyslexia. However, we hope it will grow to be more than that. Since starting the page, we have had several of you reach out to us and share your stories. We want to hear them! We would like for our page to be a place where you can come to share your troubles and your triumphs. When you get discouraged and need a friend to help you through it, we want to be there for that. When you are watching your child struggle and need advice from others who have dealt with those same struggles, we want to be there for that. And when that same child makes progress in his/her journey, we want to be there for that!
Now, here's a little information about the blog and what you will find. At the top of the page, you will find 3 tabs labeled "Home", "About", and "Go Red Gear".
The "Home" tab is where all our blog posts appear. We will be posting useful information here as well as sharing some of your stories. If you have a story you would like to tell, just message our page or email us your story at lightitupredfor1in5@gmail.com and from time to time we will pick a story from the ones we receive and share it with our group.
The "About" tab is where you will find the story of how our page came to be and what inspired us to start it. There are a few links spread throughout the post. We encourage you to check them out if you are not already familiar with them.
The "Go Red Gear" tab is where we will be posting stuff to help you light it up red! We have had several people ask for flyers to help spread the word. So we got on that and have already uploaded a copy of it. Many of you have also asked for cover photos and profile pictures to use to light your profile and pages up red. We are working on a few projects for that and will be adding them to this section as well.
That's it. Watch for more to come and remember to share your stories! :)
