10 Tools and Techniques for Dyslexic Readers and Writers
These tools and techniques will level up your reading, writing, and learning skills even if you are not Dyslexic.
I am one of the millions of people who find out about their dyslexia in their adulthood. The diagnosis came with a mixture of shame, anger, and grief, which soon transformed into courage, acceptance, and love. You become proud of yourself for finding ways to get things right despite it all, and you start to accept that you are and have always been different, and you start loving those differences.
Dyslexia in A Nutshell
1 in 10 people have dyslexia, but less than 5% of the people know it. Dyslexia is utterly unrelated to intelligence. Richard Branson, Jennifer Aniston, and Tommy Hilfiger all have dyslexia.
A dyslexic person has the brain wired differently. They often process patterns, symbols, and sounds differently, making spelling, oral reading fluency, and word decoding more challenging. However, because they connect information uniquely, they usually excel at thinking out of the box and finding other types of pattern connections that would be hard for a none dyslexic to see.
