I have children with mild dyslexia. It took them several years to learn to read fluently. The other day one of them told me how glad he was that he could read now. He expressed how much it meant to be able to read road signs, packaging, and books. He used to think that other kids had some kind of magic that felt out of reach and now he can sit with a book and read. Going through the process of teaching my children has reminded me of how marvelous that ability is.
Thanks for the post. Yes, reading is a skill, one which needs to be subsidiary if we are to look through the words to the story. Something I'm trying to improve on. Carpe Diaz, as they say in Mexico haha.

Reading deserves its own love letter. Thanks for writing this one 🙏🏻☺️
Reading is quite simply a tremendous gift to us.
Yes, this sentence is made of lots of funny squiggles, isn’t it? 😆
