[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My fifth grader was diagnosed in the spring with dyslexia. With a phonics-based tutor twice a week, her reading has really improved. She still won't sit and read a chapter book for fun, but sometimes she will read a graphic novel. Her spelling and writing are somewhat improved. But school is a struggle, despite the fact she can read above grade level. Having read what others posted, I expect school will never be what she excels at (she also struggles with math). But a friend's brother is dyslexic. He is very successful and runs his own business! So many people with dyslexia achieve great things. I know my daughter will, too, but I also know, already, that it is never going to "click" for her at school and be the easy road it was for me, or for her older siblings. It's always going to be a struggle, and I think she will always have to compensate (as others said) for the dyslexia.[/quote]

But it is also her super power.   Because the way her brain works, she might see patterns or connections that others do not.     [/quote]
