The ZYX Challenge is an idea that was created last spring by Jasleen Toor and friends all currently ninth graders living in New Jersey. They have created ZYX Challenge social media accounts for Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook with the goal of raising funds and awareness for IDA (International Dyslexia Association).
We ask each of you to take the Challenge and post it on social media.Encourage your kids, friends, and family to do the same. It’s a fun and easy way to raise awareness and show your support.
Here’s how it works:
- Make a video of your attempt to say the alphabet backwards in under 45 seconds. Open the video with a brief introduction such as “I’m taking the challenge to support the millions of kids in schools who struggle daily with dyslexia.”
- If you make a mistake or are unable to complete the challenge, make a donation to IDA on this page: http://idysa.convio.net/goto/zyxchallenge
- Challenge another person to do the same and post it on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter using the hashtags #ZYXChallenge and #UntilEveryoneCanRead
