[quote=Anonymous]I worry about this too with my 8-year old dyslexic son. I take some comfort though that he is slowly and steadily making progress on learning how to read. I hope it is like the tortoise and the hare where by age 18 he can read at the level necessary to succeed in society (but he will probably always be a slow reader). Because it is such hard work for him, he is really learning perseverance and he has a lot of grit. Furthermore, he is personable (where my other kids were bookish) and he is learning to ask a lot of questions if he doesn't understand something. Finally, like a lot of dyslexics, this kid is creative and he is developing good critical thinking skills. I hope all of those things will make college possible. If not, he will have the full support of his parents in whatever he decides to do.[/quote]
