Even before this student entered my class in September as a second grader, I already was aware of the difficulties he had with reading and writing. I had conversations with his Kindergarten and First Grade teachers about the struggles he exhibited with learning to read and write. He continued with these same struggles and difficulties through the beginning months of second grade and then testing was arranged for him. Testing results came back showing he had a learning disability: dyslexia. It was then that I wanted to learn more about dyslexia and how to best help my student learn to read and write with this disability.
