This book hit me on so many levels. As someone who grew up undiagnosed dyslexic and wondered what was different about me, as a mom of developmentally delayed children, as a homeschooler trying to teach things over and over wondering when my kids will get it, as a sister to a down syndrome boy.
All through the first half I kept having to take breaks because it was just too emotional for me to handle. Then through the second half I couldn't put it down and I just had to finish it. Overall a wonderful experience, albeit difficult.

The Adult Side of Dyslexia
Kelli Sandman-Hurley
I heard people in the dyslexic community say, "Dyslexia is my superpower" and it always felt disingenuous to me. Was it a super power that made it take 9 years for me to complete my "4 year degree"? This chapter felt so validating to me. It's okay if you don't feel like dyslexia is a "superpower."

Where Bringing Words to Life does a great job explaining what to teach and why. Chapter 2 of this book gave really good concrete examples of how to teach vocabulary, making it easier as a teacher to incorporate it into your home or classroom.
