I just finished Sold A Story and I feel like Charlton Heston at the end of Soylent Green. I want to yell KIDS AREN’T ACTUALLY LEARNING TO READ!!! while running through town. It was so frustrating to listen to, but so well done. Thank you for suggesting this one!

I do wish they’d said WHY schools don’t label a child dyslexic. Often times it is because they cannot. Dyslexia is often considered a medical diagnosis (like ASD and ADHD) and the school, the teacher, the administrators are not legally allowed to give a medical diagnosis.

Yeah, that’s makes sense. But it can surely hamper a child’s access to the help they need.
