At school, I always go on point, I need to so I can write. I write more words and more lines in a paragraph. I don't daydream anymore. It's made a big difference to how I enjoy school. Reading out loud I've done a couple of times, but not much. I'd like to read out more. I was in a play in English.
My organisation is okay. I used to lose my books around the house, and have to phone Mum from the office to bring them in to school. Now I keep it all in a box under my bed where the dog and cat can't chew them, and in the evening I look up what I need for the next day and put it all in the bag for tomorrow.
Since I've been here on the programme, I continued going to my usual Saturday dyslexic lesson, and have been getting 100% on comprehension. I'd been going about 4 years before that and it had always been about 50%. My reading speed has gone up too, and I'm more confident at reading out loud. I'll probably stop that lesson in the summer, and then I'll have my Saturdays free. Hooray!
