“Hi! I am Sloane and this book is about me and my struggle to read. Dyslexia makes reading tricky, and it used to make me feel like I wasn’t very smart. I thought I would never read like my family and friends. I did a lot of cartwheels trying to avoid those feelings until my first-grade teacher, Mrs. Peterson, taught me that we all have our own special kind of smart. With the help of my teachers and tutor, and a lot of hard work, I am learning to crack the reading code. I now see how smart I really am! I still love doing cartwheels but I also like reading. Who ever thought that I would be awesome at both?”
