Dyslexia

Dyslexia is something I hate. I don't hate people with dyslexia, I just hate it. One of my friends have it and sometimes it's quite hard to watch her getting criticized by our teacher, so I am going to do this dyslexia post to help those without it to help those with it.

The definition of dyslexia is-
 Any of various reading disorders associated with impairment of the ability to interpret spatial relationships or to integrate auditory and visual information.

Dyslexia is basically the fact that your brain isn't properly learning about things written down. It's nothing to do with the way your taught, but the way your brain responds to it. Like, a simple word like "mean" would be difficult to read because in their head, they don't see letters like us, they may see them backwards or even upside down which takes the brain longer to process.

Sometimes dyslexia affects speech, I know two people with dyslexia and one of them always stutters  before talking and the other can't pronounce certain words properly. Like, instead of saying out, she would say "a-oot" and she sounds like she's saying it in a Geordie accent even though she's Scottish.

I also know another girl who has it and tries to cover it up, like she actually says she doesn't have it. We all know she does because the teacher has her in the dyslexia group, but we don't mind. None of the girls bother about things like that. Although we can't stop the boys from being boys.

Hope this helped!

The unicorn is a legendary animal that has been described since antiquity as a beast with a large, pointed, spiralling horn projecting from its forehead. The unicorn was depicted in ancient seals of the Indus Valley Civilization and was mentioned by the ancient Greeks in accounts of natural history by various writers, including Ctesias, Strabo, Pliny the Younger, and Aelian .The Bible also describes an animal, the re'em, which some translations have rendered with the word unicorn.
In European folklore, the unicorn is often depicted as a white horse-like or goat-like animal with a long horn and cloven hooves (sometimes a goat's beard). In the Middle Ages and Renaissance, it was commonly described as an extremely wild woodland creature, a symbol of purity and grace, which could only be captured by a virgin. In the encyclopedias its horn was said to have the power to render poisoned water potable and to heal sickness. In medieval and Renaissance times, the horn of the narwhal was sometimes sold as unicorn horn.Click to go to Wikipedia
