It's Called Dyslexia

The child in this story knows the alphabet, but he sometimes has trouble putting all the letters together to read words. No matter how hard he tries, he often mixes up the letters or writes them backwards. He’s unhappy until his teacher explains that he has dyslexia, and that with special help he will overcome his reading problem.

This is one of several titles in Barron’s Live and Learn series for younger children. They are books that take a child’s point of view, especially if the child suffers from some physical challenge or lack self-confidence in going about everyday activities. These attractively illustrated picture storybooks encourage kids never to be afraid of a challenge. The text is simple and the illustrations on every page are appealing. Following each story are four pages of suggested activities that relate to the book’s theme. A final two-page section offers advice to parents.
