In October We Wear Red Dyslexia Awareness Shirt | Teacher Tee 2026

October is Dyslexia Awareness Month, and schools everywhere are going red. This dyslexia awareness shirt says "In October We Wear Red for Dyslexia Awareness" in a pretty hand-lettered frame with an open book, a bow, a lightbulb and little hearts, so you can show support in class, at home and online.

Why Schools Are Wearing Red

Go Red for Dyslexia days encourage students, teachers and families to wear red and start conversations about how dyslexia affects reading and learning. A dyslexia awareness shirt is a simple way to tell kids who learn differently that they are seen, supported and capable.

Who This Shirt Is For

• Reading specialists, interventionists and special education teachers.
• Parents and grandparents cheering on a child with dyslexia.
