Honest account by a classroom teacher who learned about dyslexia through one of her very bright students who was struggling to read.
“When I was in teacher credentialing school I received barely any instruction about dyslexia. This is tragic because the International Dyslexia Association says that “as many as 15 to 20 percent of the population as a whole … have some of the symptoms of dyslexia.” My first real experience with dyslexia was with a smart third-grade girl named “Estella.” Estella was supposed to be in fourth grade but the school held her back because she read at the kindergarten level.”
