"Do you think I may have Dyslexia?" - 02/04/12 06:42 PM
Just sitting here watching Disney channel with DD and an interesting PSA/commercial came on. A young actress from one of their shows came on to discuss her dyslexia - how hard first grade was for her because she realized she couldn't read as well as everyone else, how she can't tell "b" from "d", etc. She talked about how dyslexia makes reading hard for her but by working hard at it, and having her family help her, she now reads a year ahead of grade level. I've never seen anything quite like this but applaud Disney channel for it.
After the commercial DD looked at me wide eyed as said "Do you think I may have Dyslexia?" Wouldn't it be great if this could help kids - both with and without ld's - understand why it is harder for some to learn to read? Personally I am grateful for anything that will demystify it and make DD feel a bit more "normal".
