chandasolara 's review for:
A Walk in the Words
by Hudson Talbott
“Words had always scared me. But once I felt free to read at my own speed, they became my friends.”
I can still remember when Mrs. Sprinkle, my second grade teacher, told me that it was okay that I read a bit slower. I loved to read, but I could never figure out why I struggled through Ds and Bs and had to reeeally concentrate on those letters, especially when reading aloud. It changed everything for me, and I still remember her encouragement today: "It doesn't matter how fast you go, as long as you don't stop trying."
A wonderful book reflecting on the author's journey with dyslexia and an important read for parents and children on persevering through the difficult path of reading with dyslexia. Especially pertinent in a society that values arbitrary measures of success in test scores and level of literary consumption. Will definitely be adding to my personal library!
