Code REaD Dyslexia Network presents our annual  ‘Light it Red for Dyslexia’ campaign, designed to Raise Dyslexia Awareness  by lighting significant monuments, buildings and landmarks RED during Dyslexia Awareness Month each October.

From the 1st to 31st October 2026 and for its 12th consecutive year, Code REaD Dyslexia Network is administering its ‘Light it Red for Dyslexia’ National Campaign, and we would love you to join us this year.

WHY ALL THE RED?

Ask any dyslexic about their school experience and they will tell you about the gut wrenching fear of receiving back their school work covered in red crosses and comments. When Light it Red started in 2015, it was about taking back the power of that colour to raise awareness. The colour influenced our name Code Read (pronounced RED) Dyslexia Network. Red is disruptive and cannot be ignored but it also highlights the urgency of the situation. In effect we wanted to say that it is time to stop sweeping this important issue under the carpet and take action.

Our vision remains clear: creating a world where people impacted by dyslexia are acknowledged through early identification, understanding and inclusion; supported with evidence-based teaching and access to assistive technology and accommodations; and empowered with access to opportunity.

Thank you for considering being part of this important awareness initiative.
