October is Dyslexia Awareness Month


October is knocking at the door and it’s a good time to check out resources for kids struggling with dyslexia. October is Dyslexia Awareness Month.

What is Dyslexia?
Definition of dyslexia says, Dyslexia is a language-based learning disability, and contrary to some beliefs, it is not due to either lack of intelligence or a desire to learn.

Estimates by the National Institute of Child Health and Development suggest as many as 20 percent of all students may have some degree of dyslexia. So did my son. We struggled years and years to try to find out a solution for him and make life easier. We went from therapist to therapist got new books, advice, and teaching method. When he was 8 years old a psychologist suggested me to go and repeat the school year, as he was not able to read the exercises, or any written task from any subject. She even told me, that my son will not be able to learn any foreign languages!
