[quote=Anonymous]fwiw, my cousin really struggled with reading. He had a tremendous interest in history etc and watched a lot of documentaries on the History Channel, Discovery (it was a different time lol), etc. He used stategies he got from school and private support, used a keyboard for typing, etc. Reading was hard for him and his parents encouraged him to learn in modes that worked for him/be curious about the world etc. He went on to get an IB diploma (not that academic achivement is the end-all, but just as shorthand about what he was able to do), went to a good college and got a masters degree etc. In the moment it can be really hard and you will need to be a cheerleader. But, I think it is great and was very helpful that his parents helped him to learn in modalities that were easier for him and separated out school challanges from learning/intellect/curiousity.[/quote]
