How does dyslexia define you?

Just because she is DYSLEXIC, doesn’t mean she hates to read! Iz picked out this book with her Barnes and Noble card (which she won in a book writing contest). She says she picked it out because she loves dogs and because we have been watching movies about the foster care system. This book is rated for ages 10+. Will some of the words be difficult? Probably. Will she read at a slower speed than a non- dyslexic? More than likely. Will she comprehend what she reads? Without a doubt. Proud of my girl! She has such an enthusiasm for learning and sets her own challenges. She may have difficulty spelling, and she may have to take a few extra moments on reading each page, but she will preserver! Do not underestimate the dyslexic…or one with a disability…if you do, you are only fooling yourself!
