Dyslexic Advantage’s 4th annual Karina Eide Young Dyslexic Writers Awards is accepting entries for 2019! We had a huge response to our 2018 incentive for DBN youth to enter, and we’re running the incentive again!
Any DBN youth that enter will receive a DBN Award of Excellence ribbon, and DBN will publish all of our youth’s entries.
