The first time I knew I was dyslexic is when I was in 1st grade. I had a pretty good teacher. When I was reading I didn’t know what anything meant. When I did math I got low scores. I knew something was different about me, but I didn’t know what it was.
I got picked on in school. I felt like I was in a jail house. If I felt sad, mad, or bored I would go to the nurses office. There was 2 or 3 nurse seats, some stuffed animals and a sink. It was peaceful. To get to the nurses office I made up a reason to go to the nurses office. That was 1st grade for me.

Congratulations on starting a blog! It’s really inspiring that you want to share your experiences. I think you’ll inspire other kids to blog, and help them know that other kids have dyslexia too. Great job!

You are very brave! Dyslexia is a lifetime deal. You will not outgrow it. I am a dyslexic mom with a dyslexic son in 3rd grade. The worst part is seeing my struggles happening to my child. Remember it’s heritory. Look for it early when you have kids. I figured our our son was dyslexic in January of his kindergarden year.
What success – a blogger! That means you read & write! All those kids that made fun of you, – I bet they don’t blog!
I am glad that you comment me

Hi Annabelle,
Project DEBUNK in Maine has signed up to follow your blog. My name is Linda and I have a 21 year old son Matt and a 6 year old daughter Naomi that are both dyslexic too. 🙂 You starting your blog reminds me so much of my son Matt, who helped start Project DEBUNK and dreams of having Camp DEBUNK to continue to encourage and bring together dyslexic kids. Since school is so difficult at times and many dyslexics are misunderstood, they need something good and fun in there lives. Keep up the good work, share your heart, help others and you are going to do amazing things.
Can you have your mom email projectdebunk@gmail.com? I would love to share something with her. Excited to see what you share next.
Hi Annabelle,
My daughter was four when I knew something was different about the way she learns. She also knew in the first grade as reading was very difficult for her. I can’t wait for her to write to you. I will also share your blog with her teachers and see if they can follow your blog as well.
Stay brave Annabelle, dyselixia is something you have, it is not who you are!
Take Care,
Debra Leaming
Hi Debra again.
I would love for you to share my blog with other people.

Hi Annabelle,
I actually think differently then the kind friend that posted “dyslexia is something you HAVE, it is not who your are. We can all look at it in unique ways so I am not saying she is wrong. However, I feel it is a big part of who we are. We were created with this learning style, we did not catch it and it is not a sickness or disease. It is something to be proud of because it comes with great talents. It also means we may not learn in what the world calls “traditional” ways, which can present some struggles along the way. Dyslexia does not define ALL that we are or will be, but it is a part of us and you should be proud and tell others all about it.
Hi Linda again!
I love to here what other people think, but I agreed with you.
From Annabelle
So fantastic Annabelle! Sharing your struggles with others is so productive, keep up the awesome work!
Hi Susie!
Well thank you so much.
See you soon.
From Annabelle
Some amazing words and well put together thoughts. You are brave to talk about your feelings and struggles and write about them. Working through it, with the support of other people can only help. What a great accomplishment for a 4th grader! You (and your mom) should be very proud! Keep up the good work!
Thanks. I had a tutor come over and she said that I had a amazing vocabulary.
