Carroll School and Landmark School host Boston Premiere of Made by... Amy Dempster Sep 23 2026 Animated short featuring Liv Tyler and Jeremy Irons launches Dyslexia Awareness Month campaign to reach 100 million screens worldwide; Made By Dyslexia founder Kate Griggs joins schools at Dedham Community Theatre Carroll School and Landmark School will co-host the Boston premiere of What is Dyslexia?, a new animated short film from global charity Made By Dyslexia, on Saturday, October 3, 2026, at the Dedham Community Theatre. The screening kicks off Dyslexia Awareness Month, during which Made By Dyslexia will bring the film, featuring Liv Tyler and Jeremy Irons, to 100 million screens worldwide. The morning also features two films created to amplify the voices and experiences of dyslexic students: Carroll School's My Amazing Brain and Landmark School's Open Letter to Dyslexic Youth. Carroll School partnered with acclaimed author and illustrator Peter H. Reynolds, his twin brother and creative partner Paul Reynolds, and their educational media company, FableVision Studios, to bring My Amazing Brain to life - an affirming look at how dyslexic students think, learn, and experience the world. Following the screenings, Kate Griggs, founder of Made By Dyslexia, will join Dr. Renée Greenfield, Head of Carroll School, and Josh Clark, Head of Landmark School, for a conversation about dyslexia, the power of thinking differently, and how Carroll School can help the next generation understand and celebrate their minds. One in five people is dyslexic. Yet too many dyslexic children move through school without fully understanding how their brains work or hearing their way of thinking described as a strength. What is Dyslexia? helps children understand that dyslexic thinking is different, valuable, and needed. Dyslexic kids do not need to be fixed. They need to be understood. This film says to millions of children what its schools say to its students every day: your mind is not a problem to solve. Carroll and Landmark stand together on this because the work is bigger than any one school. Josh ClarkHead of Landmark School When children understand how they learn and begin to recognize the strengths that come with thinking differently, it can change the way they see themselves and what they believe is possible. These films give Carroll School an opportunity to amplify that message well beyond its schools and help more young people understand and celebrate their dyslexic minds. Renée GreenfieldHead of Carroll School Hosting the premiere at the start of Dyslexia Awareness Month underscores the event's larger purpose: moving beyond awareness to greater understanding of dyslexia and dyslexic thinking. By bringing together students, educators, families, and advocates, the event aims to amplify the voices and experiences of dyslexic young people and help more children see their differences as a source of strength and possibility. Carroll School and Landmark School are two of the nation's leading schools for students with dyslexia and other language-based learning differences. Their partnership reflects a shared commitment that extends beyond the students they serve each day: every dyslexic child deserves to understand how their mind works and recognize the power and possibility of thinking differently.
