Chapter 5: Search for Children's Books

A Literacy-Cast Proclamation: We believe that children deserve books that:&nbsp; <ul><li>(a) Include accurate and authentic representations of disability;&nbsp;</li><li>(b) Include at least two characters with disabilities;</li><li>(c) Are authored and illustrated by people with lived disability experiences;&nbsp;</li><li>(d) Are historically accurate;</li><li>(e) Are written using inclusive and current language that [dismantles ableism];&nbsp;</li><li>(f) Avoid [and dismantle] stereotypes including the need to cure or overcome disabilities;</li><li>(g) Acknowledge [and respect] the power of individuals with disabilities.</li></ul>Specifically, we believe that children need books that allow everyone to [speak their own truths], create their own stories, and challenge limits set by society. We must not let anyone’s mind limit what able hearts can do.

Chapter 12: Conclusion 	Our study focused on dyslexia and finding books and texts that accurately represent people who identify with having dyslexia. As educators, we would like to share advice with other educators: make sure your classroom libraries feature diverse characters and abilities. Please use our Literacy Cast Proclamation to see if you have books that feature people from all walks of life. 	Through this study, we hope that you are able to expand your libraries. Whether you are looking to add to your personal library or your classroom library, we hope that you are able to learn about dyslexia and read new books that feature characters with dyslexia. We hope you were able to expand your knowledge of dyslexia!&nbsp;

Topic: Dyslexia 	We chose to focus on dyslexia because it is a common disability that many people identify with having. According to a study on dyslexia at Yale, about 20% of the population identifies with having dyslexia. This is a large percentage of people in the world and therefore we desired to learn more about this topic. Additionally, we want to ensure the books we are featuring accurately represent the 20% of people that identify with having dyslexia.
