I wrote a post a while ago about how I finally came to love reading, that you might enjoy. <br />http://www.katgirlstudio.com/blog/the-true-power-of-a-good-story/Alicia Kat Vancilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11471442750971582033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16953084.post-60087718880066805962012-06-11T18:03:55.387-07:002012-06-11T18:03:55.387-07:00Shevi- You're welcome =^.^= There are a lot mo...Shevi- You're welcome =^.^= There are a lot more dyslexic writers than one might think. <br /><br />The thing about dreams is to never let anything stand in your way.Alicia Kat Vancilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11471442750971582033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16953084.post-56000777378788114302012-06-11T15:10:52.967-07:002012-06-11T15:10:52.967-07:00I can totally relate.

My daughter (now grown and married) had dyslexia - just a mild form. Even so, it was a battle for her in school, even though we got her all the help available at the time. <br /><br />As an author, her dyslexia galvanized me to write a rhyming picture book that encourages kids, and their parents, to get help early. I also included a helpful parent/teacher guide. <br /><br />You and I know kids CAN learn ways around this problem, and parents need to understand there IS now lots of help available. You are an inspiration, mate!<br /><br />*Books for Kids – Manuscript Critiques<br />http://www.margotfnke.comMagic Carpet of 16x Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13145090220955463862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16953084.post-40060978654640546532012-06-11T11:46:38.303-07:002012-06-11T11:46:38.303-07:00Very true, Kelly.

It also helps her to know that there are other people with dyslexia out there who have accomplished great things. Ty Pennington, for example, is one of her heroes. She even won a prize in fourth grade because of a drawing and an essay she drew and wrote about why Ty is her hero.<br /><br />My daughter even dreams of someday being a novelist.Shevihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16480925383813139997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16953084.post-34520346617162931522012-06-11T10:45:40.520-07:002012-06-11T10:45:40.520-07:00Thank you for your honesty.

My dream is to write books and create game apps that will help people with dyslexia enjoy learning to read (research indicates that -- for *most* -- it is a skill that can be learned, but people with dyslexia just need more practice at some of the building block skills -- who has the time, right? ... but if it were fun...)<br /><br />We always encourage the children that come through our tutoring center to look at all the famous people who have dyslexia and recognize that nothing needs to stop them from achieving their dreams!Kelly McClymerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04038223302234193266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16953084.post-48346627978588480952012-06-11T10:29:04.669-07:002012-06-11T10:29:04.669-07:00Thanks, Kat.
