Listening to him read brings tears
My 10 year old son is dyslexic. We have struggled to teach him to read, and he has struggled to learn, for many years now. Finally, we have him in a program that is bringing results! Today, he read to me. Read more in one sitting than he ever has. Read without me forcing him to try. He still has a long way to go, but we are on the way and it feels good. So the tears this time are tears of joy and not frustration.

What a great accomplishment. He must be so proud of himself!
There is nothing like watching a child learn how to read. It is such an accomplishment!! I know you are proud.
That is beautiful, truly touching. Don't tell anyone else but I think those are the most touching six words I've read since I started this thing. Congratulations.
Awwwwwww...I'm dyslexic, too, but with numbers. I know how you're feeling, though!
I was moved. That makes me realize how much I take for granted and how much I expect out of my two little girls. Thank you.
BTW, 2 things: Don't forget today's Silly Sunday Sweepstakes. AND, please come over to my place to vote for the Hubz, Mr. Fairway. Thanks!
Aw, that's amazing, Tiffany. It's so wonderful to see them overcome hurdles that have been in the way a long time!
That is awesome!
What a wonderful thing! He must be so proud of himself and your joy is evident. Thanks for letting us share it!
This just warmed my heart! As an avid reader, I wish all for all people to get the same joys that I've had from reading, and I'm glad your son is finding a way to make that happen. He should feel so proud ... and I'm so happy for you!
This is so sweet. You Rock! (See, a 6-word response!!)
How wonderful! Reading is such a precious precious gift.
That's awesome! My husband is dyslexic and has overcome a lot to be where he is at now, including teachers who told him to 'give up'. Stay supportive of your son!
