Dear Raccoon

You have dyslexia, a weakness for reading surrounded by a sea of strengths. The very thing about your brain that makes reading hard is also going to help you be an amazing scientist, inventor, or whatever you decide to be. World-changing.

I am glad we are doing school at home. What matters is not how fast you read but how well you think. You will do just fine with that.

We may still be in time to help you be a fast reader. If so, great. If not, I will read to you, give you hands-on experiences, and help you chart a non-traditional path through this world. I will always be your biggest fan.

Love,
Mom
