Embracing children with dyslexia

Unfortunately, dyslexia has is still misunderstood by quite a number of people even up to now, causing a fair share of dyslexics to feel out of place in a world they live in. Quite often a child’s problems with reading, spelling and retention of information results in the mistaken impression that the child is of below average intelligence, and that they will never be able to make any sound decisions in life.

There are those who call children with learning disabilities “mepakwana.”  The truth is the word “mopakwana” does not in any way portray a true picture of who dyslexic children really are. Bana ba gase mepakwana gotlhelele.
