Hi. My name is Nina. My mom is typing for me, because I am dyslexic. I used to get sad and angry when my mom would tell people I am dyslexic, but, now, I have come to learn that dyslexia is a gift. So, I asked my mom if I could make a blog to help other people who are dyslexic.
I want to share strategies that I have found to help me and give support and encouragement about how dyslexia is actually a gift.
Since it is hard for me to read, I have become great at looking at pictures and making up stories to go along with them. I often grab a book off our shelves, sit and look at the illustrations, and make up stories in my head. Then, I ask my mom, my dad, or my little brother to read the book to me.
It used to make me more discouraged that my little brother could read and I could not, but, now I realize I have other gifts and that is just one of his.
One of my gifts is making stories. Maybe next time, I will share a story I have been dictating to my dad.
I would love if you guys would ask me what questions you have, and I could see if I could answer them for you. I want to help you understand the challenge, yet joys, of having dyslexia.
