Throughout my K-12 education, I had many learning difficulties, such as reading, spelling and comprehension. In middle school, my school system placed me into basic reading and English courses due to this problem. Later, I realized I was struggling with the English language, and decided to take a Latin course to correct my confusion. It was not until my 10th grade year attending my first year in Latin that my faculty member realized I was dyslexic. In our reading labs, we had to read out loud in Latin using a headset, and she would listen to see how well we read. She followed my reading and she discovered I was reading backwards and reversing words. She privately took me a side, and explained what my reading and comprehension issues were at the time, and empowered me with tools to help correct the issue. My 11th grade year, I was placed in an advanced English course. Later as I continued my post-secondary education, I found if I read from a computer screen versus a paper book, I was able to read 60% faster. What I discovered was how the words were displayed to my eyes. Computer screens are backlit devices that allowed me to process the information faster (and more accurately) versus reading a paper book lit from the front by lamps. The Texas Education System actually perform some research, and found that dyslexic students function better using tablets (iPad, so on) when reading, and they have started a small program to help these students. Learning disabilities are quite real, and I was fortunate to have a faculty member discover mine, and empower me with tools, so I could move forward successfully.
