Are you/any of you dyslexic? No
In what capacity are you attending Dyslexia information Day 15: Exhibitor
Why Get involved with or exhibit at Dyslexia information Day: I have a passion for Usborne books, and love the great feeling of satisfaction gained when I help a child find a book that they want to pick up and ‘eat’. The right book will offer many hours of enjoyment and can ignite a lasting interest in a subject. Usborne Books are ones you will come back to again and again!
Describe Dyslexia information Day in 10 words or less!:

Anything else:
As an Usborne Organiser I support schools with their fundraising too. At previous Dyslexia Information days I have met parents and teachers from primary schools and have subsequently arranged reading events for their schools. Please contact me if you would like to arrange a reading event for your school. The following schools have received books at no cost to the school:
| School | No. of pupils | Books to school |
| Gobowen Primary | 150 | £1151 + £480 to pupils |
| Wrockwardine Wood Junior | 266 | £2046 + £800 to pupils |
| Sundorn Infants, Shrewsbury. | 250+ | £2616 |
| Radbrook Primary, Shrewsbury. | 300+ | £3259 |
Note: Dyslexia information Day really appreciates the support that Kate offers at Dyslexia information Day, she has a depth and wealth of knowledge in so many areas and as passion for literacy and reading that is infectious and empowering, she is always a very welcome exhibitor who we know looks after visitors no matter need or their budget.
