EIM 4

I love Jim but he does have a habit of always saying the wrong thing at the wrong time

Who does she think she is?

He always likes doing things on his own

Even as a baby, he would never let me feed him

He just shouts at me every time I open my mouth

All those letters of the alphabet didn’t make any sense to me

I tried to do my best, but every time I wrote a word I just made a mess on the page

The other kids started to make fun of me and call me stupid

I got really bad and I started to hate school

I had to make a real effort just to get out of bed in the mornings

My mum got quite worried and took me to an educational psychologist

The psychologist made some tests and found out that I was dyslexic

Finding this out made a huge difference

Once my teacher knew what the problem was, she could start to help me

Although my writing was still bad, I made a lot of progress
