Dyslexic

Some of my poems you might have read
My spelling has been bad
Its because I am dyslexic
I've been like that since a lad.

At school I wasn't, clever
But I always tried my best
When it came to written work
It was something I detest.

Dyslexia now you know I have
It,s been with me all my life
Now if I want to spell a word
I just ask my wife.

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!
