Dyslexia Awareness Month – October 2026!
Until Everyone Can Read: IDA-RMB & UNC Inside Out Project
Saturday, October 10, 2026 | 10 a.m.–2 p.m. MT
McKee Hall Breezeway | University of Northern Colorado
Free parking • Pizza & drinks • Fun & community
This October, we’re making dyslexia visible.
In recognition of Dyslexia Awareness Month, the International Dyslexia Association–Rocky Mountain Branch is proud to partner with the internationally recognized Inside Out Project and the University of Northern Colorado to bring Until Everyone Can Read: A Pledge of Solidarity to life.
On Saturday, October 10, our community will come together to install 55 large-scale photographic portraits at UNC’s McKee Hall. Each portrait represents someone who has pledged to stand in solidarity with individuals with dyslexia and support our shared belief that literacy is a human right.
This is more than an art installation. It is a public statement about dyslexia, literacy, inclusion, and what is possible when a community comes together around a shared purpose. Volunteers will help prepare materials, apply paste, install portraits, organize supplies, and document the experience.
No experience is necessary, and everyone is welcome.
Saturday, October 10, 2026 | 10 a.m.–2 p.m.
McKee Hall Breezeway | University of Northern Colorado
Free parking • Pizza & drinks • Fun & community
Come get a little messy, connect with your community, and help us create something powerful.
Literacy is a human right. We will keep working until everyone can read.

We can’t wait to see you all there!
