DECODABLE readers, now recognised as an effective tool for supporting early and struggling readers, will form a new permanent collection in the children’s section of local libraries.
The resources will be distributed across Port Macquarie, Laurieton, and Wauchope branches, ensuring access for families throughout the Hastings and Camden Haven regions.
The readers will be officially launched at Port Macquarie Library on Saturday 26 July at 11am.
The event will include presentations by Kelly King from SPELD NSW and Dyslexia Mid North Coast, and Jess Manton from Specialist Education Service in Port Macquarie.
Personal accounts of learning with dyslexia will also be shared.
This community-focused event will highlight the importance of early intervention, accessible resources, and local support networks for those navigating the challenges of dyslexia.
With one in five children experiencing difficulty due to dyslexia, the launch aims to raise awareness, share up-to-date research, and offer practical support to local families and educators.
The event is free and open to all members of the community.
