Dyslexia

The words are turned around the writing is backwards the book is upside down The teachers are frustrated Some don't know what to do Suggesting I go to a private school. The Private school can not handle A child so far behind I am three grades behind I feel so alone, the schools don't want me because I am so far behind I see things in other ways Kids say I am dumb Kids tease me all the time they even knock me to the ground They say I am different Maybe I am But what do they know? For I am Dyslexic

look up the Scottish Rite organization to see if they are in your city or town. They offer FREE phenomenal weekly tutoring using the gold standard method of teaching and aiding dyslexic readers (Orton Gillingham method). I have a dyslexic son and I also used to tutor with them. Free if you have a formal diagnoses of dyslexia. (register with your school to get that testing done) You may have to get on their waiting list but is well worth it. Will give you great skills and self confidence galore!
