Excerpt
The ability to learn basic skills such as reading and writing is totally taken for granted by those of us who develop those skills easily. For those with difficulty in learning to read and write, the world around them, where knowledge of these skills is essential, becomes a frustrating and defeating place. I know this well, because I, as a child, was unable to read. I had a number of major learning disabilities, the major one being dyslexia: a condition resulting from a fetal developmental abnormality that affects language development.
