Dr. Sally Shaywitz [a Yale medical school professor who's the co-director of the Yale Center for Dyslexia and Creativity] describes dyslexia as "a weakness in language surrounded by a sea of strengths."

As a mother of a dyslexic son, kudos to you for finding ways to teach that work.—Beth Pollack, Submitted online
