A big glimmering, glistening ray of hope! If you are reading this blog perhaps you need one.
Here's where I found mine:
It's HERE!
"Probably the most helpful material ever published on dyslexia..."
So true!!
Here is my letter to the authors:
"I wanted to thank you for giving some colour and texture to my hope. I knew that dyslexic minds were amazing ones and my daughter’s amongst them, but couldn’t quite articulate how. After she was labelled as gifted, teachers and therapists kept asking “But how is she gifted?” and I could only answer “Well, cognitively”.
It certainly wasn’t functionally because she was performing in the low-average arena for most things at school. Everyone looked at her performance from ”the flip side of the coin” and only addressed her areas of weakness, me included.
Now that you have highlighted her processing style for me, I can see for the first time how it is that she will progress from the caterpillar to the butterfly and I could howl, snort and slobber (not merely weep) from relief.
Those 16 typed-pages of fairy story that she dictated to my mother at age four, are the masterpiece that I thought them to be, a window into Kate's world and maybe the first grading in what will eventually become a vertical trajectory to fulfilment and success. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!"
