I studied and am now a Certified Academic Language Practitioner. For fun I read fantasy, and classic literature. But as I'm getting better at reading I'm thinking of branching out more.

    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.

    Chapter 6

    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.
