[quote=Anonymous]It depends on who you consider peers! My kid didn’t catch up in elementary or middle school. But he took AP English Lit, which by definition is more advanced than most American high schoolers. He is now in college, which is something over half of Americans never achieve. He reads for his classes, and keeps up with his peers and gets decent grades. He listens to audiobooks when he reads for pleasure. Reading with his eyes is still work, and so not fun. I’m dyslexic too and by the time I was in 5th grade I read for pleasure. But I’m old, and when I was a kid we didn’t even have TV. There was nothing for me to do after school and on weekends but read. So I read. For good or for ill, this generation has a different experience.[/quote]
