The Dyslexic Advantage – a UK premier screening at Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity

🎬 Join us for the UK premiere of The Dyslexic Advantage – a powerful new short film reshaping how we understand dyslexia on Wednesday 4th Feb 2026.

Moving beyond the narrative of struggle, this inspiring film celebrates dyslexia as a strength, driving creativity, innovation, problem solving, and discovery.

Nearly 1 in 5 people think differently and this film shows why that matters.

🎤 Special Guest Q&A

We’re delighted to be joined by Fernette Eide, CEO of Dyslexic Advantage, Executive Producer of the film, and co author of the renowned book The Dyslexic Advantage.

Fernette will answer questions live after the screening.

 

🌍 Online event – attend from anywhere! Can’t watch live on the night? No problem.

Book your place and we’ll send you the recording later in the week.

 

👪 Who is this for?

✔️ Parents

✔️ Teachers and education professionals

 

Through science, animation, and powerful personal stories of innovators, artists, and entrepreneurs, the film also gently explores the social and emotional challenges young people can face in school and how understanding strengths can change outcomes.
