Our daughter is dyslexic.
I can remember her reading her little books from school. She used to make the most amazing stories up to fit the pictures, nothing at all to do with the written word she was supposed to read.
Hubby used to smile at her but it quite upset me as I could not understand why this bright little girl could not read, I really was ignorant.
Anyhow, we eventually learned what the problem was, she had to work at things really hard, took her own slow pace at doing things but got there in the end.
She wasn't helped by an illness at age seven that kept her from full time school for over a full term, but she caught up to the other kids by the next school year.
I think there is more awareness now, teachers look out for it more than in her schooldays.
My biggest problem with dyslexia is the attitude some people have towards it, you have dyslexia so you must be thick... think again.
