Friends -
Tens of millions of Americans struggle with dyslexia.
Including me.
When I was a kid, I wondered why my sister would finish her homework so quickly while I struggled. Reading aloud in front of class filled me with fear and anxiety.
But I learned strategies to deal with my dyslexia. I began to see it as a strength. It helped me think differently, be more creative, and learn to take more risks. I want to help kids and their parents see their own learning differences as gifts too – rather than simply obstacles to overcome.
That’s why I wrote a new children’s book. It’s called "Ben and Emma’s Big Hit" and it went on sale today.
Buy a copy. Do it for a loved one who struggles with dyslexia, or to help them understand what others are going through. I think kids will love the book.
Thank you. This means a lot to me.
