[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a sahp to two little kids. I rarely get more than 30 seconds to myself, let alone enough time to read a whole book. During the first year I was able to read during night feedings, but now I try to sleep at night. Audiobooks, tho, have sustained me through toddlerhood and the preschool years. I go through 3-4 a week. [/quote] Can I ask you a favor, PP? Claim your audiobooks as reading just as much as your eye-reading books. You read 3-4 books a week while having little kids! Go you! Dyslexic kids hear us adults talk dismissively about audiobooks, and then feel like they aren't "really" reading books because they use audiobooks, and they feel even worse about themselves than dyslexic kids already do. We can all help out these kids just a bit by not making a distinction between whether we ear-read or eye-read a book. They are all books, and it doesn't matter how they get in our heads, the important part is that they do.[/quote]
