Reading with dyslexia

[DianaB]

I'm a reader, a lot like you, Lindsey, and my husband struggles with reading which is hard to understand when someone loves to read as much as I do. My son was diagnosed with a reading disability when he was in grade school and the things that I learned about him also applied to my husband. My MIL got really upset with me once when I implied that Glen also had a reading disability but he's the first to admit that he hated reading in school.

The good news is that Glen now reads. Not a lot but definitely more than he used to. I found that having books or magazines with short stories laying around make him more likely to pick one up and read a story or two. Reader's Digest is a really good one to have. I keep them mostly in the bathroom. In the last several years he's actually read books! Not a lot but that in itself is a huge accomplishment!

Good Luck!
