Dyslexia is My Superpower
(Most of the Time)
Interviews by Margaret Rooke
Matthew, 10, Texas, USA
Sometimes, when I'm reading, my mind goes away from the book. I don't focus properly and I start thinking about something else. I'm not good at reading really, but I'm good at math.
I try hard to make sure my writing looks good so the teachers can read it, but I know I need to work harder to make sure. I'm getting better. Teachers should really help kids who have dyslexia. When I get help, this means I can see what the question is and what it is talking about. If the teachers don't pay attention to kids with dyslexia, that is not gong to help them.
I still find it difficult to keep focus but I try very hard. I want to say to kids with dyslexia "you can do it. Just believe in yourself."
