"It's frustrating that you can't read the simplest word in the world."
'Thomas Lester grabs a book and opens to a random page. He points to a word: galloping.
"Goll—. G—. Gaa—. Gaa—. G—. " He keeps trying. It is as if the rest of the word is in him somewhere, but he can't sound it out.'
"I don't ... I quit." He tosses the book and it skids along the table.'
'Despite stumbling over the simplest words, Thomas — a fourth-grader — is a bright kid. In fact, that's an often-misunderstood part of dyslexia: It's not about lacking comprehension, having a low IQ or being deprived of a good education.'
'Dyslexia is the most common learning disability in the United States. It touches the lives of millions of people, including me and Thomas." (To read the rest of the article, click here.)
