[quote=Anonymous]Our dyslexic 3rd grader struggles with not being "good enough" academically. We've listened to audiobooks about other children who struggle - not to trivialize his struggles but to show that he isn't alone. He hates the idea that it's just him. We've listened to Percy Jackson, who has dyslexia and ADHD. He liked Wonder and the associated Wonder stories. He also likes single person survival stories like Hatchet which demonstrate children overcoming huge obstacles. We have him in sports that complement his natural abilities. Team sports are a disaster for him because he doesn't know left/right, before/after, things in a sequence. Other activities such as rock climbing, the trapeze school, kickboxing, running, swimming, and ice skating are all a much better fit for him. It's hard and will be an ongoing process.[/quote]
