Introducing Beyond Words: Wichita's Reading Crisis. Join us as we kick off the Wichita Journalism Collaborative's next initiative focused on adult literacy, the difficulties those who struggle to read face every day, and the impact that has on our community. Join us to participate in simulations that will allow you to experience firsthand what it's like to live with dysgraphia, dyslexia, ADHD, and other neurodivergent conditions that make reading difficult. This event is facilitated by the Phillips Fundamental Learning Center and Wichita Public Library. Registration is encouraged but not required.
