Book 19: My Dyslexia

Philip Schultz has dyslexia, and he's also a poet. He only discovered his dyslexia when his young son was diagnosed with the condition. This book describes some of his experiences with an undiagnosed learning disability.

In my ignorance, I expected a bit more of a nonfiction expository feel to this. Instead, it's much more poetic descriptions and images of his experiences learning to read and struggling in school. I enjoyed the descriptions and yet was appalled at the way he was treated in school.
